Frequently Asked Questions
What does community nursing involve?
Community nursing provides qualified clinical healthcare directly in your home. This includes sterile wound dressings, urinary catheter maintenance, injection administration, vital signs tracking, and chronic illness oversight. All clinical procedures are performed by AHPRA-registered nurses.
How do you coordinate with my GP or hospital discharge team?
With your consent, our registered nurses provide clean clinical notes and handover reports directly to your GP, surgeon, or hospital discharge team (such as at Fiona Stanley, SCGH, Royal Perth, or Armadale Health Service) following visits.
Can community nursing be funded under NDIS or Home Care Packages?
Yes. Community nursing can be funded through Self-Managed and Plan-Managed NDIS plans (under Capacity Building or Core Supports) and Home Care Packages (Levels 1–4). Private fee-for-service options are also available without government waiting times.
Do I need a doctor referral for community nursing?
No doctor referral is required to initiate private clinical assessments. However, if your care requires prescription medications or specific post-surgical protocols, we will request your discharge summary or doctor orders to ensure exact compliance.
