Nursing input for disability-related care
You have a nursing need connected to your disability that requires discussion with an appropriately qualified professional.
Community nursing care
Some disability-related care needs require nursing input alongside everyday support. We discuss your current care arrangements, the nursing assistance requested and the information needed to assess suitability. Community nursing enquiries are welcome across Greater Melbourne, Melbourne’s western suburbs, Wyndham and Geelong.

Support for your everyday life
Nursing care that fits into everyday life. Disability-related nursing support, with your care needs and agreed clinical instructions guiding the service.
We agree on the activities, suitability and scope with you before support begins.

A personal approach to your support
AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
You might already have written instructions from a treating clinician and need to discuss nursing visits at home. The first conversation can clarify the care requested, what information is needed and whether a suitable nursing arrangement can be made alongside your existing team.
Support shaped around you
The right support begins with understanding your goals, the things that matter to you and how you prefer to be supported.
Clear day-to-day care instructions
You want to understand how agreed nursing care fits with the assistance you already receive.
Communication with your care team
You would like relevant information shared with the people involved in your care, with your consent.
Clinical suitability first
The requested care, relevant instructions, clinical skills and resources needed are assessed before any nursing service is confirmed.
Consent and care information
We agree on who may share or receive relevant information. Detailed clinical documents are requested through an appropriate process after the initial enquiry.
A clear visit plan
The location, frequency, nursing tasks and contact arrangements for changes in your needs are discussed before care starts.
Making support work for you
We discuss the details together, so you know what to expect before you decide.
Funding and costs
NDIS nursing support must relate to the impact of your disability and fit your plan. General medical treatment and services that are the responsibility of the health system are considered separately.
We confirm the proposed nursing scope and costs with you before a service agreement is made. Funding or a referral alone does not confirm that a particular procedure or visit can be provided.
Before you decide, we explain your service agreement, how to request changes and how to give feedback.
We support people across Greater Melbourne, including Melbourne’s western suburbs, Wyndham, Point Cook, Werribee, Tarneit and Truganina, as well as Geelong. Tell us your suburb so we can confirm local availability.
