Get Support

Supporting your health needs at home & beyond

Community nursing care allows participants with complex or ongoing health needs to receive professional clinical support in their own home or community setting, rather than in a clinical environment. This approach supports comfort, dignity and independence - keeping you in the place you know best.

Our community nurses are AHPRA-registered professionals who work collaboratively with participants, their families, GPs and other healthcare providers to deliver safe, coordinated, person-centred care. We treat the whole person, not just the clinical need.

All care is delivered in strict accordance with best-practice clinical guidelines and NDIS quality and safeguards requirements, with comprehensive documentation and regular review of care plans to ensure they reflect your current needs and goals.

What this support can include

A young man with dreadlocks, wearing a white shirt that says 'COACHER' on the back, is helping an elderly man with long gray hair sitting on a couch in a living room. The elderly man is wearing a plaid shirt and is holding up his hand. There are plants and miscellaneous items on a table in the background.

Depending on the participant’s assessed needs and care plan, community nursing support may include:

Health assessments and nursing care planning
Medication support within clinical scope
Wound care and dressing support
Continence-related nursing support
Diabetes-related support where appropriate
Catheter care where clinically required
Bowel care support where appropriate
PEG feeding support where required
Respiratory or complex care support within scope

Monitoring changes in health and wellbeing
Liaison with GPs, specialists and allied health professionals where required
