NDIS community nursing care is registered-nurse support delivered in a participant's home or community, rather than in a hospital or clinic, for health needs connected to their disability.
What it typically covers
This can include wound care, health monitoring, support managing medication routines, and other clinical tasks that would otherwise require a trip to a clinic or GP.
It's different from personal care support (help with showering, dressing, and daily routines) — community nursing care specifically involves a registered nurse and clinical, health-related tasks.
Who it's for
Community nursing care suits participants with an ongoing health condition connected to their disability that needs regular, professional attention — for example, complex wound care or a medication regimen that needs monitoring.
It's funded under a participant's Core or Capital supports depending on what's included in their plan, and is typically arranged alongside other daily supports rather than as a standalone service.
