Community Nursing Services in Australia

NDIS community nursing services provide professional nursing care funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme. These services support participants with medical needs such as medication management, wound care, health monitoring, and post-hospital recovery in their home or community setting.

NDIS participants who require nursing support as part of their approved plan may be eligible. Eligibility depends on individual health needs and whether nursing care is considered reasonable and necessary within the participant’s NDIS plan.

You can access nursing support by ensuring it is included in your NDIS plan. Once approved, you can choose a registered provider like Bharosa and work with the team to create a care plan that meets your health and personal goals.

These services may include health assessments, medication administration, wound and injury care, chronic condition management, diabetes support, and assistance during recovery after hospital stays.

Where possible, Bharosa works to match participants with a consistent nurse to support continuity of care. Nurse allocation is based on individual needs, availability, and clinical requirements.

The frequency of nursing support depends on your NDIS plan, clinical needs, and agreed care schedule. Services may be provided short-term or on an ongoing basis.
