Around one in three Australians are deficient in iron. In some cases, a doctor may prescribe intravenous (IV) iron infusions as treatment. Instead of having to visit a clinic or other location, Vitalis safely carries out Iron IV infusions at home, along with other infusion therapies, in consultation with your treating specialist - for maximum patient comfort and convenience.
With Vitalis, intravenous infusion treatments can be given at home for conditions that include:
Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis)
Multiple sclerosis
Iron deficiency anaemia
Motor Neurone Disease
Infusion therapy in the home bypasses much of the inconvenience
associated with hospital-based treatment. Benefits include:
No travel time and costs
Reduced time off work
Shorter hospital stays and less time away from family.
Vitalis' infusion therapy in the home is staffed by a team of experienced and credentialed Registered Nurses and staff doctors who are passionate about excellence in patient care.
Our services are delivered to you without any compromise to the clinical safety or health outcomes of your treatment.
Vitalis is accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) to the National Standards to provide acute clinical services in the home.
We work with private health insurers to provide this service to patients, generally with no out-of-pocket expenses to you. If a service is not covered by your health insurer, you can still receive the treatment (via a referral from your GP) on a user-pays basis.
