Long-Term SIL/SDA
Supported Independent Living in an individual or shared home, including SDA where separately funded.
The hospital manages clinical care. Myxa prepares the disability support
For participants who are medically ready to leave hospital and need disability support arranged before they can move. We work with the participant and hospital team to prepare the setting, support and staff before discharge.
From hospital to a community setting
Myxa supports participants leaving hospital into three settings.
Temporary MTA
Temporary accommodation while a longer-term home or transition is being arranged. Daily support is funded separately.
Participant Home
Core Support or High Intensity Support delivered where the participant already lives.
Plan the move. Prepare the support.
A safe discharge starts before the first shift. Myxa works with the participant, hospital team and other people involved to prepare the support before they leave hospital.
- 01
Referral and Intake
We gather the information needed to understand the participant’s current situation, support needs, communication, routines and any clinical or behaviour support guidance already in place.
- 02
Build the Support Plan
A person-specific Support Plan is developed around the participant’s daily support needs, including any high intensity or behaviour support requirements that need to be followed after discharge.
- 03
Prepare the Environment
The home or support setting is prepared around the participant before discharge, including accessibility, equipment, personal belongings and any environmental requirements identified in their plans.
- 04
Prepare the Team
Workers are matched based on the participant’s support needs, experience and compatibility, then trained in the plans and procedures they will be expected to follow.
- 05
Discharge, Review and Next Steps
The transition plan covers the move and the first period after discharge. Support is reviewed as the participant settles into the new setting, and longer-term arrangements continue to be planned where needed.
Not a handoff.
A collaboration.
The hospital and health professionals remain responsible for clinical care. Myxa prepares and delivers the disability support around the participant’s clinical plans and recommendations.
We coordinate with the people involved in the transition, which may include the hospital team, GP, allied health professionals, Support Coordinator and Behaviour Support Practitioner.
Support workers follow the participant’s plans and clinical instructions, while clinical decisions remain with the relevant health professionals.
How a Myxa Home WorksSend what you have.
Start the conversation.
A complete referral pack is not required to begin. Send the information you have, and we can identify anything else needed as the transition planning progresses.
Useful to include
- Discharge summary or draft, and current medication list
- NDIS plan and Support Coordinator details
- Behaviour Support Plan, where relevant
- mealtime, PRN or other clinical procedures the support team needs to follow
- relevant allied health reports
- how the participant communicates and who they want involved

Before the
next step.
Not as the provider of the nursing. Where a person needs high intensity daily personal activities, our support workers are trained and assessed in those activities and deliver them under the direction of the supervising nurse or clinician. Ongoing clinical treatment stays with the health system.
Support needs change, and arrangements do end. The support plan is reviewed with the person and their care team, and if a different arrangement is needed, we plan that move rather than letting it happen in a crisis.
