Overview

Social workers can help you to access services and entitlements, and assist with all aspects of discharge planning.

Current inpatients and outpatients of the hospital may be referred to see a social worker by hospital staff, or you may refer yourself by simply contacting the social work department.

Social workers can provide:

  • counselling and support
  • advocacy within the hospital and community
  • information about community resources
  • referral to other services
  • preparation for discharge from hospital.
