What Is NDIS Community Nursing Care?

NDIS community nursing care provides clinical nursing services for NDIS participants who need medical support because of their disability. The NDIS nursing support system provides different funding than public health system general community nursing because it depends on each participant’s unique disability needs and personal objectives. Registered nurses use the NDIS system to deliver healthcare that relies on scientific research while meeting individual patient requirements.

Who Is Eligible for NDIS Community Nursing Care?

The first step to access NDIS community nursing care requires you to become an approved NDIS participant. Your eligibility for nursing support depends on your daily functioning limitations which result from your disability—your diagnosis does not determine your eligibility. The nursing support needs of participants who receive it include people who have physical disabilities and neurological conditions and chronic illnesses and spinal cord injuries and acquired brain injuries and complex health conditions which require continuous medical supervision. Your nursing support needs to be established as “reasonable and necessary” because of your disability requirements. Your planning meeting uses health reports together with functional assessments to decide whether nursing care should be part of your plan.
