Frequently asked questions
How much does NDIS community nursing cost in Cairns?

More complex nursing tasks requiring registered nurse expertise can be charged at higher rates. The NDIS Support Catalogue contains specific line items for different nursing support levels.
How do I choose an NDIS community nursing provider in Cairns?

Am I eligible for community nursing under the NDIS?
Community nursing falls under Core Supports when it relates to disability-related health needs. The NDIS does not fund nursing care that should be provided by the health system (e.g., post-surgical care, acute illness). The distinction can be complex — your support coordinator can help determine what falls within NDIS funding.
Can I change my community nursing provider?
Yes. You have full choice and control over your providers under the NDIS. You can switch providers at any time, subject to any notice periods in your service agreement. Use ProviderScout to find alternative community nursing providers in Cairns.
