Former Australian prime minister Bob Hawke has thanked well-wishers for their support after being discharged from a Sydney hospital.
The former Labor leader was admitted to Royal North Shore Hospital late on Monday for minor tests after having a fall and hitting his head.
Mr Hawke's office confirmed he had been discharged but had not gone to his home.
"His health is fine, but he will continue with rehabilitation," a spokeswoman said.
"Mr Hawke expresses his gratitude for the abundance of good wishes sent by friends, colleagues and strangers from all over the world."

"He's fine - no brain damage, no bleeds, no stroke, no nothing. Just a break and we're arguing about whether the break is for him or Blanche (his wife)," Ms Pieters-Hawke told the Seven Network.
Labor MP Chris Bowen on Tuesday said Mr Hawke's medical issue was being referred to as a case of "the wobbles".
Mr Hawke served as Australia's 23rd prime minister from 1983-1991 and led Labor to four consecutive election victories.
