In-reach rehabilitation toolkit

These resources have been developed to support Hospital and Health Services to establish, strengthen or expand in‑reach rehabilitation services.

These services are critical to support early intervention, improve patient outcomes, enhance care continuity and reduce hospital length of stay.

The toolkit provides guidance across planning, service design, implementation, and the ongoing delivery and maintenance of in‑reach rehabilitation models.
