Frequently Asked Questions
You may be eligible if you are an NDIS participant and your disability-related health needs require nursing care. The support must be considered reasonable and necessary under NDIS rules and directly related to your disability. Common examples include people needing support with pressure care, PEG feeding, diabetes monitoring, or continence management. Your needs will be assessed during your planning or plan review meeting.
Yes. Community nurses often support people living with chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, or mobility-impairing conditions. They help manage symptoms, monitor health, and reduce the need for frequent hospital visits. Nurses work alongside your GP and allied health team to ensure coordinated care.
Allcare Excellence employs registered nurses (RNs) and enrolled nurses (ENs) who are fully qualified and meet Australian health registration standards. Our nurses have specific training in disability support, infection control, medication safety, and high-intensity needs. They also undergo regular professional development to stay up to date with clinical best practices.
To access this service, your need for nursing care should be documented in your NDIS plan under Core Supports or Capacity Building. During your planning or review meeting, explain the health-related supports you need and provide medical or allied health evidence. If community nursing is already part of your plan, simply contact us to arrange services.
Community nursing care works in coordination with other supports such as personal care, physiotherapy, or behaviour support. For example, a nurse might oversee pressure care while a support worker assists with mobility. Good providers like Allcare Excellence ensure that all services are integrated and communicated clearly to avoid overlap and ensure safety.
Yes. If your condition changes or your needs increase, you can request a plan reassessment from the NDIS. Provide updated medical reports and explain how your care requirements have changed. The plan can then be reviewed to include additional hours or more complex nursing services, if needed.
