The short answer
NDIS participants can use their plan for in-home nursing when the care is related to their disability and needs a Registered or Enrolled Nurse — for example catheter care, PEG feeding, complex bowel care, wound and pressure care, or insulin management. These are usually funded as Disability-Related Health Supports from your Core or Capacity Building budget. Care N Cure provides clinical nursing care for Plan-Managed and Self-Managed NDIS participants across Perth with AHPRA Registered Nurses. We invoice your Plan Manager directly at standard NDIS price limits with zero out-of-pocket hassle.
What counts as NDIS nursing?
The NDIS funds nursing that is linked to how your disability affects your daily life. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) calls these Disability-Related Health Supports. Health care that anyone might need — such as a GP visit or treatment for a short illness — is generally funded through Medicare and the health system instead.
- Urinary catheter care (indwelling and suprapubic)
- Enteral (PEG / PEJ) feeding and stoma care
- Complex bowel care
- Wound and pressure injury care
- Diabetes and insulin management
- Medication administration and nurse training for support workers
Agency-managed, Plan-managed or Self-managed — what changes?
Agency-managed (NDIA-managed): the NDIA pays providers directly from the NDIS portal. You can only use NDIS registered providers.
Plan-managed: a plan manager pays invoices on your behalf. You can use registered or unregistered providers, and prices must stay within the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
Self-managed: you pay the provider and claim back through the my NDIS portal. You have the most flexibility over who you choose.

What to ask for at your plan meeting or reassessment
- Bring a letter from your GP or specialist describing the nursing you need and how often.
- Ask for nursing to be included as a Disability-Related Health Support.
- Include time for a Registered Nurse to train and supervise your support workers, if you rely on them for daily tasks.
- Ask your Support Coordinator (if you have one) to help gather evidence and request quotes.
Why a dedicated nurse matters for NDIS participants
For many participants — especially people with complex health needs, sensory sensitivities or communication differences — a new nurse every visit increases anxiety and clinical risk. At Care N Cure, one Registered Nurse leads your assessment, care plan and visits, with a small familiar back-up team for leave.

Frequently asked questions
Which part of my NDIS plan pays for nursing?
Most in-home nursing is claimed as a Disability-Related Health Support, usually from your Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life) budget, and sometimes from Capacity Building. Your plan, planner or Support Coordinator can confirm what is funded in your plan.
Can Care N Cure support Agency-managed (NDIA-managed) participants?
Care N Cure provides clinical nursing care for Plan-Managed and Self-Managed NDIS participants across Perth with AHPRA Registered Nurses. We invoice your Plan Manager directly at standard NDIS price limits with zero out-of-pocket hassle.
Do you charge more than the NDIS price limits?
No. For Agency-managed and Plan-managed participants we bill at or below the limits in the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. We give you a written quote before care begins.
Do I need a GP referral?
Not to contact us. However, medical orders are needed for some procedures (for example medications or wound treatment plans), and a GP or specialist letter helps when requesting nursing funding in your plan.
What if my NDIS plan does not include nursing yet?
Talk to us anyway. We can explain what evidence is usually needed, and you can ask for a plan reassessment if your health needs have changed.
