What is Hospital in the Home?
If you need home healthcare solutions, you may be able to choose where you receive this care. Our Hospital in the Home (HITH) program can provide the care you need in the comfort and privacy of your own home*, as an alternative to hospital in-patient treatment.
Where clinically appropriate, Hospital in the Home offers home healthcare solutions to help you transition from hospital to home. Hospital in the Home may mean an earlier discharge from hospital.
Services available may include:
Home health care services available under the HITH program may include:
- Acute/Complex Wound care (Including NPWT)
- Acute nursing

- Anticoagulant therapy
- Diabetes management
- Continence management
- Intravenous therapy
- Stoma / PEG / catheter management

What are the advantages of the Hospital in the Home program?
Our Hospital in the Home program allows you to receive hospital services, where clinically appropriate, in your own surroundings. This means your family and friends can visit you whenever you like, instead of being limited to hospital visiting hours. You will also be able to enjoy the creature comforts of home such as your own bed, your couch, and your own TV, along with the company of your furry or feathered friends.
In short, you might be able to enjoy all the things that make your life a little more comfortable and personal, while receiving home health care services at home.
How is it funded?
The cost of Hospital in the Home program may be covered by your health fund, depending on your fund and level of cover. Please contact your health fund to find out if you are eligible for the service, and what level of cover you are entitled to.
There is also the option to pay for HITH privately. Contact Amplar Home Health on 1800 854 300 and speak with one of our Care Coordination team to find out more.
