Returning home after a hospital stay can change your everyday support needs. UinCare Support can discuss practical disability-related assistance with you, your chosen supporters and hospital discharge team. We focus on Melbourne’s eastern suburbs and welcome enquiries from across Melbourne.
Our service is everyday support-worker assistance. We do not provide nursing, wound care, clinical medication management, pain management or high-intensity personal care. Your hospital and treating health professionals remain responsible for medical advice, treatment and rehabilitation.
Everyday help you can discuss
Depending on your disability-related needs, funded plan and available staff, assistance may include showering and dressing routines, meal preparation, cleaning, laundry, shopping and access to appointments. We agree on the tasks, timing and limits of support before services begin. Contact us early so we can assess suitability; immediate staffing or extra funding cannot be guaranteed.

Support coordination and planning
If support coordination is included in your plan, your coordinator can help you understand funded supports, contact suitable providers and discuss service gaps. With your consent, they can liaise with your discharge team about everyday support arrangements. They can help you contact the NDIS if your disability-related support needs have changed. The NDIA decides funding and plan changes; UinCare cannot promise a rapid review or approval.
When temporary accommodation may be relevant
Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) may be available where you have a confirmed longer-term home but disability-related arrangements are not ready. A hospital discharge alone does not establish eligibility. MTA is not general recovery accommodation or emergency housing. Any approved accommodation and separately funded daily support arrangements need to be checked before a stay is agreed.
Read the official NDIA MTA guidance and discuss your circumstances with your NDIS contact or support coordinator.
Preparing your enquiry
Tell us your suburb, expected discharge timeframe, everyday assistance needed and your preferred contact method. Let your hospital team know you are an NDIS participant and ask them about medical follow-up and any clinical services you need. At first contact, avoid sending full medical records or your complete NDIS plan; we can discuss what information is necessary and how to share it appropriately.
Send an enquiry or referral, email info@uincare.com.au or call 0414 941 888 to discuss suitability and current availability.
