Understanding community nursing under the NDIS

Community nursing under the NDIS covers clinical care that’s directly related to a participant’s disability and functional needs. This includes complex bowel and bladder care, wound management, ventilator and respiratory support, PEG feeding tube management, medication management, subcutaneous injections, and catheter care.

It’s important to understand the boundary between NDIS-funded and health-system-funded nursing. The NDIS funds nursing care that’s disability-related and ongoing — care that you need regularly because of your disability and that enables you to live in the community. Acute nursing care (such as post-surgical wound care or treatment for an illness) is the responsibility of the public health system, not the NDIS. Similarly, nursing care in hospital settings is not NDIS-funded.

Community nurses working under the NDIS must be registered nurses (RNs) or enrolled nurses (ENs) with current AHPRA registration. For complex clinical procedures, an RN is typically required. Many providers also employ assistants in nursing who work under RN supervision for less complex tasks. The provider must be NDIS-registered to deliver community nursing services to Agency-managed participants.

Visit frequency depends on your clinical needs. Some participants require daily nursing visits for wound care or medication administration, while others need weekly monitoring. For participants with ventilator or tracheostomy needs, round-the-clock nursing support may be funded. The nursing provider should develop a care plan that outlines the frequency, duration, and nature of visits, and this should be reviewed regularly.

When choosing a community nursing provider, ask about their experience with your specific clinical needs, their after-hours availability for urgent issues, how they manage handovers between nurses to ensure continuity of care, and how they communicate with your GP and specialist doctors. Clinical care requires strong coordination between the nursing provider and your broader health team.

What to ask before choosing an NDIS provider

Before signing a service agreement with any NDIS provider, including Nursing your way, it’s worth having a conversation about a few key things. What are the hourly rates, including loadings for evenings, weekends and public holidays? What cancellation fees apply, and what notice period do they require? Who will your regular support worker or practitioner be, and what happens if they’re sick or on leave? How does the provider handle complaints? These questions are standard — any reputable provider will have clear answers.

If Nursing your way is registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, they’re bound by the NDIS Code of Conduct and must meet service standards audited by approved quality auditors. This covers everything from worker screening to incident reporting. Unregistered providers can still be used by plan-managed and self-managed participants but aren’t subject to the same oversight.

It’s also worth understanding your service agreement before you sign it. The agreement should clearly state the supports being delivered, the price per hour or unit, any cancellation policy, how travel charges are handled, and how either party can end the agreement. Under the NDIS, you can usually change providers, subject to the notice and cancellation terms in your service agreement. If a provider’s service agreement doesn’t include a reasonable exit clause, that’s worth questioning.

If you’re unsure about any aspect of choosing a provider, your support coordinator or local area coordinator (LAC) can help. They can explain what to look for, accompany you to initial meetings, and assist with setting up service agreements that protect your interests. Keeping records of your interactions with providers — save invoices, note key conversations, and track whether the services delivered match what was agreed — will make plan reviews smoother and provide evidence if you ever need to raise a complaint.
