NDIS Community Nursing Care

Clinical care that comes to you

For many NDIS participants, having access to skilled nursing support in the home is essential to health, safety, and quality of life. Our community nursing services bring registered and enrolled nurses directly to you removing the need for unnecessary hospital visits or residential care placements.

Our nurses work closely with your GP, specialists, allied health professionals, and support workers to ensure your health needs are managed safely, consistently, and in the comfort of your own home.

What is Community Nursing?

Community nursing is a clinical support service delivered in your home or local community by qualified registered nurses (RNs) or enrolled nurses (ENs). Under the NDIS, community nursing is funded when a participant has complex health needs that require professional clinical oversight as part of their everyday life distinct from general personal care.

Frequently asked questions

1. Is community nursing covered by my NDIS plan?

Community nursing is typically funded under Improved Health and Wellbeing or Improved Daily Living, depending on your individual circumstances. Your support coordinator or LAC can advise on your eligibility and how to include it in your plan.

2. Can a community nurse manage my medications?

Yes. Our registered nurses can administer and manage medications as prescribed by your treating doctor, including complex multi-medication regimes.

3. Will I always see the same nurse?

We prioritise consistency of care and aim to assign a primary nurse to each participant. A trained backup nurse is arranged to cover leave or unavailability, with proper clinical handover in place.

4. Can community nursing be combined with personal care?

Yes. Many participants receive both nursing support and personal care through Pacific Home Care Solutions, with all team members communicating regularly to ensure consistent, well-coordinated care.
