- Understand and navigate the NDIS and health interface
- Identify key personnel and understand their responsibilities in both the NDIS and health system
- Identify and address barriers to timely discharge
- Implement the Summer Foundation’s Collaborative Discharge Approach (CDA) to assist a person with disability to leave hospital and live well in the community
- Lead a collaborative approach across service systems to support a safe discharge from hospital
