People Support Possibilities
Transitioning from a correctional setting into the community can involve significant changes in healthcare, accommodation, daily routines and access to essential support services.
Simaru True Care provides personalised Prison-to-Home transition support for eligible NDIS participants requiring assistance to establish safe, stable and sustainable living arrangements following release.
Our nursing team includes clinicians with experience working in correctional and related healthcare environments. This experience provides valuable insight into the health needs, care coordination challenges and continuity-of-care requirements that can arise during the transition from custody to community living.
Our clinically led approach combines practical disability support with nursing assessment, clinical oversight and collaboration with relevant healthcare and community services.

Experienced nursing leadership
Our clinical nurses bring experience relevant to correctional healthcare and the complexities associated with transitioning from institutional settings into community-based care.
This enables our team to recognise potential gaps in healthcare continuity, identify clinical risks and contribute to coordinated support arrangements.
We understand that individuals may have complex physical health, mental health, disability and psychosocial support needs.
Our approach is respectful, non-judgemental and centred on each participant's circumstances, preferences and goals.
Our clinical approach

We aim to promote continuity of healthcare, personal stability, independence and meaningful community participation.
