How to access NDIS nursing supports

NDIS nursing supports may assist participants who need disability-related nursing care, clinical monitoring, care planning or support with health tasks in the community. The right pathway depends on the participant’s plan, goals, risks and clinical needs.

When nursing support may be relevant

Community nursing may be considered when a participant needs support with medication, wound care, continence, chronic disease management, clinical assessments, high-intensity supports or transition from hospital to home. Nursing support should be linked to the participant’s functional needs and safe service delivery.

Information that helps a referral

• Participant details, NDIS number and plan dates
• Current diagnoses, risks, medications and allergies
• Reports from hospital, GP, allied health or existing providers
• Consent to share information and contact the referrer
• Urgency, location and preferred contact details
