Send a referral Call 0405 468 427What is NDIS community nursing?
Community nursing means the clinical care you would normally travel to a clinic or hospital for happens at home instead. For participants managing catheters, wounds, complex medication routines or high intensity needs, that removes a lot of difficulty from an ordinary week.
Every visit is carried out by a registered nurse, and that matters twice over. Clinically, because complex needs call for someone trained to notice when something is changing. Administratively, because clear clinical notes are what hold up at plan review time.

Two fields. We respond within one business day.
A home visit is often the difference between managing and coping. People heal better in their own bed, with their own things around them.
Founder, RNHigh intensity supports
Some clinical needs call for advanced training. Health Focus Nursing holds NDIS registration to deliver these as high intensity daily personal activities.
- Complex wound management
- Urinary catheter management, in-dwelling, in-out and suprapubic
- Complex bowel care
- Enteral feeding via naso-gastric, jejunum and duodenum routes
- Tracheostomy and ventilator management
- Subcutaneous injections and severe dysphagia management
Who we support
Community nursing suits participants with complex or changing health needs, people coming home after a hospital stay, and those managing chronic conditions that need regular clinical review. We also support participants with tracheostomies, ventilators, feeding tubes or severe dysphagia, working alongside treating teams so care stays consistent.
How it is funded
Community nursing is funded under NDIS support item 0114 and billed at current NDIS price limits. It works across self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed plans, and can sit alongside high intensity daily personal activity funding where more complex clinical support is required.

Community nursing questions

NDIS community nursing covers clinical care delivered at home by registered nurses, including wound care, catheter insertion and management, medication administration and monitoring, bowel and stoma care, diabetes support and overnight clinical monitoring. High intensity supports such as tracheostomy management, ventilator management and enteral feeding are also included where a participant is funded for them.
Community nursing covers clinical tasks that must be performed or supervised by a registered nurse, such as wound care, catheter management and medication administration, funded under NDIS item 0114. Personal care covers non-clinical help with daily living such as showering, dressing and grooming, delivered by support workers under NDIS item 0107. Many participants receive both.
Nursing delivered in a participant's home is funded under NDIS support item 0114, Community Nursing Care. It is available across self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed plans, and Health Focus Nursing bills at current NDIS price limits, so eligible participants with funding available pay nothing out of pocket.
To check the funding in your plan, call us on 0405 468 427.
Visit frequency is set by clinical need and available funding. Some participants need a single weekly visit for a dressing change, while others require daily attendance or overnight clinical monitoring. Health Focus Nursing works with the participant and their coordinator to build a schedule that fits the plan.

Yes, wherever capacity allows. Health Focus Nursing has no waitlist for community nursing, and accommodates urgent nursing needs as they arise. Urgent requests are best made by phone rather than through the enquiry form so availability can be confirmed immediately.
Yes. Health Focus Nursing provides hospital-to-home nursing support for participants leaving hospital, covering wound care, medication management and clinical monitoring during the period when complications are most likely. If the participant's NDIS plan already includes community nursing, we can usually have a registered nurse at their home within 2 business days of the referral, and sooner for wound or catheter care that cannot wait. Nurses coordinate with hospital discharge teams and treating clinicians so care continues without a gap, and it is best arranged before the discharge date.
Yes. Every nurse who visits is registered with AHPRA, the national regulator. Registration means verifiable professional standards, mandatory continuing education and accountability, which matters for participants with complex or high intensity clinical needs, and anyone can check a nurse's registration on the public AHPRA register.
