This includes facilitating discharge home with services in place or supporting admission with a care plan informed by their preferences and degree of frailty. ASET plays a critical role in improving patient experience, enhancing clinical outcomes, and supporting system efficiency.
People of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background are encouraged to apply.
