High Intensity & Complex Care
High intensity daily personal activities delivered by trained, nurse-supervised workers — the supports many providers decline.
Specialist clinical care
Community Nursing Care
Community nursing brings clinical care to you instead of sending you out to find it. Our registered nurses assess, plan and deliver nursing care in your home or in the community, and stay involved as your needs change — so a wound, a catheter or a medication routine never becomes the reason you end up back in hospital.
How it's funded
Usually funded from Core Supports, or from Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living where a nursing assessment or care plan is required.

How we work
Our clinical process
No mystery, no drawn-out intake. You know what happens at each stage and who is responsible for it.
- 1
Clinical assessment
A registered nurse meets you at home, reviews your health history and current supports, and identifies the clinical risks that matter most.
- 2
Care plan
We write a nursing care plan in plain language, agree it with you, and share it with the people you want involved — your GP, specialists, family or support coordinator.
- 3
Delivery
Nursing visits run to an agreed schedule with a small, consistent team, so you are not re-explaining your care to a stranger each week.
- 4
Review and escalation
We review the plan at set intervals and whenever something changes, and escalate to your treating team early rather than late.
Safeguards
How we keep this safe
Clinical supports carry real risk. These are the controls that sit behind the care, and we are happy to walk any of them through with you or your support coordinator.
- Nurses hold current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (AHPRA)
- Clinical care is governed by a nurse-led clinical governance framework, with documented supervision and escalation pathways
- Where nursing tasks are delegated to support workers, delegation is documented and competency is assessed by a registered nurse
