Hospital in the Home (HITH) physiotherapy across Sydney. We provide the physiotherapy component of HITH and Hospital Substitute Treatment programs for private hospitals and insurers.
Bayside Mobile Physio is set up to provide Hospital in the Home (HITH) physiotherapy across Sydney, delivering the physiotherapy component of HITH and Hospital Substitute Treatment (HST) programs for private hospitals and health insurers, in coordination with the referring hospital or insurer’s clinical team. This service sits alongside our broader Post-Surgical & Post-Hospital Rehabilitation service, for patients continuing recovery once a HITH admission has ended.
Hospital in the Home is a program that allows eligible patients to receive hospital-level care at home instead of remaining as an inpatient, under the direction of a hospital or health insurer’s clinical team, an approach recognised within NSW Health’s rehabilitation model of care. In NSW, HITH is most established within the public hospital system, generally delivered through the hospital’s own employed physiotherapy staff rather than external providers.
Private hospitals and health insurers increasingly offer an equivalent, often structured as a Hospital Substitute Treatment (HST) program, and it’s here that external providers like Bayside Mobile Physio are engaged directly to deliver part of that care in the patient’s home.
We can provide the physiotherapy component of care. Where a private hospital, insurer, or Hospital Substitute Treatment program needs a physiotherapist attending a patient at home as part of their HITH or HST care, Bayside Mobile Physio is available to provide that clinical physiotherapy component. We don’t provide the medical or nursing components of HITH care, such as IV therapy or wound dressing, our role would be the physiotherapy, mobility, and rehabilitation side of the program.
Open to direct engagement from hospitals and insurers. Private hospitals and health insurers running HST or HITH programs often engage mobile physiotherapy providers directly, rather than relying solely on hospital-employed staff. Bayside Mobile Physio is set up to be engaged this way, from the start of a patient’s HITH care, not only after formal discharge.
Coordinated clinical handover. When engaged as part of a HITH admission, we liaise directly with the hospital’s medical and physiotherapy team, so treatment continues on the same plan rather than starting over.
Physiotherapy across the full scope of a HITH admission. Depending on the patient’s condition, that can include gait and mobility retraining, falls risk assessment, and pain management, not just general mobilisation.
Continuing care once a HITH admission ends. Once a patient’s formal HITH admission closes, we can continue physiotherapy with them as they move into standard post-discharge rehabilitation. Older adults in particular often go on to longer-term care through our Aged Care Physiotherapy Sydney or Support at Home Physiotherapy services, so there’s no second handover or gap in care.
Hospital in the Home is a program that lets eligible patients receive hospital-level care at home instead of staying as an inpatient, under the direction of a hospital or health insurer’s clinical team.
Eligibility is set by the referring hospital or insurer and depends on the patient’s clinical condition and home circumstances, it isn’t something we determine independently.
HITH is a structured, hospital or insurer-run program covering the acute phase of care, with defined start and end dates. Standard post-hospital physiotherapy, like the rest of our Post-Surgical & Post-Hospital Rehabilitation service, is the ongoing rehabilitation that continues once that acute phase or hospital admission has ended.
Bayside Mobile Physio is set up to provide the physiotherapy component of HITH and Hospital Substitute Treatment programs, working under the referring hospital or insurer’s program. We don’t provide the medical or nursing components of HITH care.
Where a private health insurer runs the HITH or Hospital Substitute Treatment program, physiotherapy delivered as part of that program is generally covered under it. Get in touch with the details of the referral and we can confirm how Bayside Mobile Physio can be engaged.
We aim to schedule the first visit in line with the hospital or insurer’s HITH timeline, get in touch with the expected start date and we’ll confirm what’s achievable.
We provide Hospital in the Home and post-hospital physiotherapy across the Greater Sydney region, including the Inner West, Western Sydney, South Western Sydney, and the Eastern Suburbs. Get in touch to confirm coverage for a specific patient’s location.
