Quick Response Service.
Uniting’s Quick Response Service offers the short-term services you need to regain your independence after an unexpected health event – such as a fall, accident or illness.
Recover in the comfort of your own home
Restore your independence and return home sooner with Uniting’s Quick Response Service (QRS). Working with you and your health care team, we’ll create an in-home support plan to get you back on your feet – and back into life.
Return from hospital and return to routine, knowing that QRS are here to help.
Your personalised plan can include:
- Personal care
- Meal preparation
- Housework
How do I access the Quick Response Service?
Heading home from hospital soon? We’re ready to help.
Our staff aims to respond to each individual’s situation within 48 hours, to provide you the care and support you need after your incident.
Your QRS can be directly accessed via referral from:
- A hospital
- A rehabilitation
- A health professional
- My Aged Care
Contact us directly on 1300 277 478 where our friendly team can answer your questions, or assist you with a self-referral.
Am I eligible for the Quick Response Service?
Interested in improving your health from home? You could be eligible for QRS.
Talk to us if you are:
- Aged 65 or over (or under 65 and receiving a Disability Support Pension)
- Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and over 50
- Living in Metropolitan Melbourne
- Recovering from a sudden health-related event
- Able to recover at home - or with friends and family.
- Not already receiving similar services - e.g. from the Council, Home Care Package or Post-Acute Care from the Public Hospital System. If there is a clear need, over and above what these services can provide, it will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
If this doesn’t sound like you, don’t worry – we may still be able to help.
