Community nursing at home

What it is

Our nurses look after health needs that call for a qualified nurse. This can include wound care, medication management, catheter and continence care, bowel care, diabetes support, tube feeding and checking how you are going between doctor visits.

We keep in touch with your GP and other health workers, so everyone knows what is happening.

TODO confirm the nursing tasks your team provides and your NDIS registration group for community nursing care

Who it is for

• NDIS participants who have disability related health supports in their plan
• Veterans with a DVA card and a referral for community nursing
• People who want to pay privately for nursing at home

What a typical visit looks like

1. The nurse arrives at the agreed time and asks how you are feeling.
2. They give the care in your care plan, such as changing a dressing or helping with medication.
3. They write up their notes and tell you, and your family if you like, what they did and what to look out for.
4. If something has changed, they talk with you about next steps and contact your GP if needed.
