ComPacks is a NSW Health funded program that is run by Community Options Projects. ComPacks is a case managed package of care for up to six weeks after discharge from hospital.
Generally the hospital social worker or discharge planner will refer to ComPack after discussion with the client/family. A ComPack case manager will then complete a comprehensive assessment with the client, preferably in hospital. A package of care will be set up to commence when the client leaves the hospital and can include referrals to community organisations and independently brokered services. The case manager will monitor how the client is managing at home with the services involved and will make further referrals for ongoing support as required.
People who are admitted to participating public hospitals and who are assessed by the hospital as requiring extra support on returning home (at least 2 services) and live in the following local government areas:
- Eastern Sydney:
Randwick, Waverley, Woollahra, Sydney, Botany.
- Western Sydney:
