Bangka Strait Ward at SALHN

Bangka Strait is a 26-bed ward based at the Repat Health Precinct. For specific location, see contact details.

Bangka Strait provides a bridge between your hospital stay and your next step towards returning to the community. You will be supported to make choices about your future. Bangka Strait Allied Health, Nursing and Medical teams provide support and therapy focussed on your own goals, with a focus on preparing for discharge home, or to other suitable accommodation.

What types of services are provided?

Nursing, medical and allied health teams support your assessment and progress throughout your admission.

  • The medical team is supported by a Consultant Geriatrician (for patients over 65), or a Rehabilitation Consultant (for patients under 65) and rotational Resident Medical Officers (RMOs).
  • Nursing care and assistance with personal care needs are provided as required
  • Allied health interventions will depend on your needs, but may include:

How long can I stay?

Your admission depends on your progress and your individual care needs. Your progress is reviewed regularly and can be adjusted depending on your needs. You will be supported to discharge home (with or without community services), or to other suitable accommodation if needed.

What if I’m already receiving services through a different program?

You are a SALHN inpatient while you are admitted to Bangka Strait, and you cannot receive other services during this time. We will assist you to re-engage with any of your existing services when you are ready to discharge back to the community.

Who pays for my admission to Bangka Strait?

Bangka Strait is a public hospital ward, part of the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN). While you have goals and progress with your therapies, there is no cost. If you decide to move into longer term residential care, and/or no longer have therapy goals to work towards, a fee may be applied.
