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.
