The short answer

Care N Cure provides clinical nursing care for Plan-Managed and Self-Managed NDIS participants across Perth with AHPRA Registered Nurses.

Catheter and continence supports we provide
- Scheduled suprapubic (SPC) and indwelling catheter changes, as ordered by your doctor
- Catheter site care and monitoring for infection or blockage
- Bladder management plans and bag / valve education
- Continence assessments and product advice
- Training and supervision for support workers and family carers
Why consistency matters for catheter care
Catheter changes are personal and can be uncomfortable. Having the same Registered Nurse each time means they know your history, notice early signs of infection or blockage, and can talk to your GP or urologist when something changes.

Frequently asked questions
Does the NDIS pay for catheter care at home?
Catheter care related to your disability is usually funded as a Disability-Related Health Support in your NDIS plan. Check your plan or ask your Support Coordinator what is included.
How often does a suprapubic catheter need changing?
It depends on the catheter type and your doctor's orders — commonly every few weeks. Your Registered Nurse follows the schedule set by your doctor or urologist.
Can my support workers help with catheter care?
Support workers can often help with routine tasks such as emptying bags after training. Catheter changes are done by a nurse. We can train and check the competency of your support team.
