Inpatient Rehabilitation
South Eastern Private Hospital welcomes patients from all private health funds DVA, TAC, Workers Compensation and those who are self funded.
Our rehabilitation program caters for a wide and diverse patient population. Patients are admitted under the care of a specialist doctor and receive treatment from a multidisciplinary therapy team. The multidisciplinary team meets regularly to assess and formulate patient care pathways, treatment plans, progress and discharge plans.
Complete admission paperwork
If you have a planned admission, you will receive admission paperwork from your Doctor's rooms. Please ensure you complete the forms and return them to South Eastern Private Hospital.
Where possible, we require your admission forms one week prior to your admission date. This is important so that we can confirm your hospital booking.
For rehabilitation patients transferring from another facility, where possible you will be assessed by our Rehabilitation Assessor to ensure suitability to programs provided by the hospital. A number of information brochures about Brunswick Private, our facilities and programs will also be provided at this time.
Confirm costs and insurance coverage
Prior to your admission, please contact our admissions staff to verify your insurance and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur from your hospital stay. Our staff are happy to answer any questions you may have about costs and insurance coverage. You may also wish to check with your health fund if you have any concerns.
