Frequently asked questions

Does NDIS cover nursing for general health issues?
NDIS nursing is specifically for disability-related health needs. General health care (GP visits, hospital care) remains the responsibility of the mainstream health system, not the NDIS.
Can a nurse train my support workers?
Yes. Nurses can provide delegated care training to support workers, enabling them to perform certain clinical tasks (like medication administration) under nursing oversight in your home.
How often will a nurse visit?
This depends on your clinical needs. Some participants need daily nursing visits (wound care, medication), while others may only need weekly or monthly reviews and monitoring.
Do I need a registered nurse or can I use an enrolled nurse?
Both can provide NDIS-funded nursing, but some complex clinical tasks can only be performed by Registered Nurses. Your support coordinator or GP can help determine what level of nursing you need.
