What they do

HARP provides short-term care coordination. Your clinical care coordinator will provide information, support and education to you and your family/carer regarding your health condition and help coordinate services such as My Aged Care. Working with you and liaising with other health professional services, an individual management plan will be developed to best meet your care needs.
HARP also coordinates funding for home oxygen referrals post-hospital discharge.
