Eligible patients will be i) aged 65 years or over; ii) admitted to the participating hospital with their first neck of femur fracture; iii) planning to discharge either to a private residence or rehabilitation facility; iv) have internet access (either at home or another location) or have a support person that has internet access; v) English speaking; and vi) are physically and mentally well enough to provide informed consent, or have a support person who is able to provide consent on their behalf. Eligible support persons will be aged at least 18 years, and providing practical or emotional support to a patient.
Patients that are planned to be discharged to a Residential Aged Care Facility (RACF) will be excluded from the trial given there is significant variability in functional goals of care for residents of aged care facilities and ongoing care is typically managed by health professionals in these settings with minimal resident control over care. Patients being managed with palliative intent will also be excluded.
