The Bed Based Transition Care Program is located at St Georges Hospital, the Kew campus of St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne (SVHM). Our nursing team is pivotal to the success of the broader, high performing interdisciplinary team, achieving ambitious outcomes while supporting the flow of patients throughout the broader organisation. We are a vital part of SVHM’s Subacute and Community Services, a key clinical program of SVHM and the broader St Vincent’s Health Australia (SVHA) Public Hospital division.
