Transition Care Program

The Transition Care Program is a collaborative initiative that is jointly funded by the Australian Government and States and Territories. The primary aim of TCP is to improve the functional capacity of older people so that they will be able to return to their prior living arrangements with or without support or enter residential aged care at a lower level of care support than would have otherwise been possible. The program aims to minimise the number of older people experiencing inappropriate, extended lengths of stay in hospital or being prematurely admitted to residential care.
