Receiving care in the comfort of one’s home makes a significant difference in a person’s well-being. As such, we aim to make in-home nursing care in Melbourne convenient and comfortable for all NDIS participants. Here’s how our team works:

  • Initial Assessment: We start with a friendly chat to understand your health needs and goals.

  • Care Plan Development: Based on our assessment, we create a personalised strategy that aligns with your NDIS plan.

  • Nurse Assignment: You are matched with a skilled nurse who’s perfect for your situation.

  • Ongoing Support: The plan is regularly reviewed and adjusted as your needs change.

How is Nursing Care Funded?

The NDIS offers different funding options to cover essential nursing and disability services based on personal goals and requirements. The funding generally involves the following:

  • Support Category: The NDIS funds several categories, including core supports (daily living activities), capital supports (assistive technologies), and capacity-building supports (skills development). Nursing home care falls under the Core Supports category of the NDIS. This category is designed to assist participants with everyday activities and personal needs.

  • Management Options: Registered individuals can choose how to manage their funding. Options include self-management, plan management, or NDIA-managed funding. This flexibility allows individuals to select an option that suits their needs.

  • Reasonable and Necessary Supports: The NDIS funds nursing care services that are considered “reasonable and necessary” to help participants achieve their goals. This means that the support must be directly related to the participant’s disability and not covered by other systems like health or education.

  • Ongoing Assessment: Funding is reviewed and adjusted based on changing needs or circumstances. Clients have regular meetings to discuss their progress and any necessary changes to their plans.
