About the HIP Chronic Wound Service
Austin Health’s Health Independence Program (HIP) is part of the Continuing Care Division and provides multidisciplinary services that support people with health problems and complex conditions to optimise their function and self-management skills so they can live independently and well in their homes and community.
The HIP Chronic Wound Service supports patients with chronic wound conditions of more than six weeks. The service aims to help patients remain at home and reduce unnecessary presentations to Emergency or urgent care and the need for inpatient admission. The service operates on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the multidisciplinary outpatient clinic operating on Thursdays.
