Professional Compassionate In-Home Nursing Care, Funded by Your NDIS Plan

In-home nursing care is an NDIS service that provides professional nursing services delivered directly to participants in their own homes. These services address complex health needs related to a disability, including everything from medication management to wound care. Our goal is to help your loved one maintain their health and independence in a familiar environment, reducing the need for hospital visits.

NDIS covers a wide range of nursing services, including:

• Wound care: Managing and dressing wounds.
• Medication management: Ensuring correct administration of medications.
• Diabetes support: Assisting with blood sugar monitoring and insulin.
• Continence care: Supporting bowel and bladder management.
• Palliative care: Providing comfort and symptom management for those with life-limiting conditions. All services are tailored to disability-related health needs.

To access in-home nursing care, it must be included in your NDIS plan. Discuss your health needs with your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) during your planning meeting. Once approved, you can select a registered nursing provider like MyNDIC to deliver the care.

NDIS funding for nursing care is allocated under the Capacity Building Supports category. This funding covers services that are necessary for managing your disability-related health needs. The specific amount depends on your individual plan and is used to pay registered service providers for delivering the care.

The number of nursing care hours is based on your individual NDIS plan. While there’s no fixed cap, the care you receive must fall within your plan’s allocated budget. If your needs increase, you can request a plan review to adjust the hours accordingly.

Your in-home nurse must be registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). They should also have experience in supporting people with disabilities and managing complex health needs, giving you peace of mind that your loved one is in capable hands. MyNDIC Nurses have all the required qualifications.

We’re here to ensure you get the care and respect you deserve, every step of the way.

No, the NDIS does not cover general medical costs, hospital visits, or treatments unrelated to your disability. These are typically covered by Medicare or private health insurance. The NDIS focuses on funding supports that directly relate to managing your disability.
