Expert NDIS Nursing at Our Preston Location
G’day, NDIS folks, carers, and coordinators in Ballarat! Stubborn wounds, continence woes, or complex health needs can be a real hassle amid NDIS red tape. Wound care NDIS Ballarat from Care AU flips the script, nurse-led assessments, custom plans, and smart funding to heal faster and thrive.
At Care AU, we understand how important the right care is. Based in Melbourne’s north, our registered nurses in Preston support people with complex health needs and everyday nursing tasks. We’re here to help make sure your NDIS plan provides the care and health support you need.
What Does NDIS Nursing Actually Look Like?
Many people think nursing only happens in a hospital or an aged care facility. Under the NDIS, however, community nursing care in Preston brings high-level expertise directly to your front door.
It is healthy and feels good. Our nursing services will give you the appropriate care to enable you to cope with your health conditions, and therefore, live a normal life with no worry. We provide flexible, professional, and client-centered disability nursing services.
Why Opt for Registered Nurses?
While support workers are the backbone of the NDIS, certain tasks require the “big guns.” A Registered Nurse (RN) brings years of university training and clinical experience to the table. At Care Au, our RNs provide:
- Clinical Oversight: It is maintaining a check on the changes in your condition before it turns into an emergency.
- Care Coordination: Communicating with your GP, experts, and the remainder of your support team.
- Risk Management: Ensuring all procedures, from injections to catheter care, are performed to the highest Australian health standards.
Our Core Nursing Services at Care Au Preston
We don’t believe in “one size fits all” healthcare. Our Preston-based team specialises in a variety of complex supports, including:
1. Complex Physical Care
With major physical disabilities with respect to participants, our nurses deal with:
- Ventilator and Tracheostomy Care: They make sure that respiratory equipment is operating and that the airways are clear.
- Enteral Feeding: Precise and hygienic management of PEG, PEJ or NG tubes.
- Seizure Management: Preparation and implementation of emergency procedures of epileptic patients.
2. Specialist Wound Management
Skin integrity is vital. Our registered nurses in Preston use evidence-based techniques to manage:
- Post-surgical wounds.
- Pressure sores and ulcers.
- Complex dressing changes require sterile techniques.
3. Continence and Catheter Support
We provide discreet and professional support for:
- Indwelling and suprapubic catheter changes.
- Development of comprehensive continence management plans.
- Prescribing the right products to keep you comfortable and confident.
4. Aged and Disability Nursing
We often work with participants who sit at the intersection of aging and disability. Our aged and disability nursing approach looks at the whole picture—managing the chronic conditions that come with age while respecting the specific needs of your disability.
The Benefits of Choosing a Local Preston Provider
There’s a real “community feel” in Preston, and we lean into that. When you select Care Au, you understand that you are not a database entry, but a neighbour.
- Quick Reaction Time: Since we are based locally, we can react fast in case a problem occurs.
- Familiar Faces: Familiar Faces. You will find the same nurses who are aware of your history, your preferences, as well as how exactly you want things to be done.
- Strong Local Networks: We have established relationships with local medical clinics and pharmacies across Preston and the surrounding northern suburbs.
How to Fund Your Nursing via the NDIS
One of the most common questions we get at our High Street office is: “How do I pay for this?” Clinical nursing is funded under the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living or Core Supports categories, depending on the nature of the care. If your disability results in a “chronic health condition” that requires a nurse, the NDIS is responsible for that funding.
Pro Tip: When you go for your NDIS plan review, ensure you have a letter from your GP or specialist outlining why a Registered Nurse is required for your safety. Our team at Care Au can even help you gather the necessary evidence to advocate for these supports.
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
At Care Au, we aren’t just here to tick up a box. Our disability nursing services are about the “whole person.” This means:
- Empowering Families: We train the family members and carers, and hence they would be at ease with their loved ones between the nursing visits.
- Mental Health Integration: We acknowledge the fact that physical wellbeing and mental health are inseparable.
- Social Connection: At home with the management of your health, we provide you with the physical stability to be able to go out and play in Preston everything that it has to offer, the Preston Market, local community hubs etc.
