Community nursing, explained plainly.

NDIS community nursing can suit participants who need ongoing clinical care — such as wound management, medication support, or monitoring a health condition — but who’d rather receive it at home than travel to a clinic repeatedly. It can also support families and carers who want clinical guidance alongside the day-to-day care they provide.

If nursing support is included in your NDIS plan, it can be arranged directly by you, by a family member, or through your support coordinator. Funding can be self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed — how it’s managed affects how referrals and invoicing work, but not the care itself.
