What Is a Continence Assessment and Who Needs One?

 

What Is a Continence Assessment?

A continence nurse assessment Melbourne is a thorough clinical review conducted by a qualified continence nurse to understand how bladder and bowel issues are affecting your daily life, comfort, and independence. For NDIS participants, an NDIS continence assessment is the essential first step to accessing funded continence products, management plans, and ongoing care support. A continence assessment NDIS referral can be initiated by your support coordinator, GP, or allied health team – and is the gateway to all disability related continence support under your plan. Our NDIS continence assessment Melbourne service is available in-person and via telehealth across Melbourne, Preston, Ballarat, and Geelong.

Urinary Incontinence and Faecal Incontinence – Understanding the Two Types

Urinary incontinence refers to any involuntary leakage of urine – ranging from stress incontinence triggered by movement, to urgency incontinence caused by sudden bladder pressure. Faecal incontinence involves difficulty controlling bowel movements, and is often connected to neurological conditions, physical disability, or post-surgical changes. Both types are covered under NDIS continence care services when clinically documented, and both qualify as disability related continence support under the NDIS framework.
