Complex daily care, from workers our nurses have trained for you
Some daily care needs clinical skill: feeding through a tube, catheter care, bowel care, watching for seizures. Our support workers are trained by our registered nurses for your care plan, and checked before they work alone.
What high-intensity supports cover
- PEG and tube feeding, following your dietitian’s plan
- Urinary catheter care
- Complex bowel care
- Seizure monitoring, and following your seizure plan
- Pressure care and positioning
Why nurse-led matters
Coordinators’ first warning sign is support workers doing clinical tasks without a nurse behind them. Ours never do.
A registered nurse writes the plan with you.
It covers your tasks, your preferences and what to do if something changes.
The nurse trains your workers on that plan.
Training is specific to you, not a generic course.
The nurse checks them in person.
Workers start alone only once they’re signed off as competent.
The nurse keeps reviewing.
We update the plan whenever your health or needs change, and tell your GP.
Paying with your NDIS plan
High-intensity daily personal activities are funded in the Core part of your NDIS plan. Nursing visits for training and review are billed as community nursing care.
Nurse By Choice is an unregistered NDIS provider. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants, and with people paying privately. If the NDIA manages your plan, we can’t bill it, but your support coordinator can talk to you about switching to plan management.
