Continence Assessment

Living with continence issues can feel frustrating, isolating, and sometimes even embarrassing, but it doesn’t have to be.

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.

Group Programs and Social Clubs

Our NDIS group activities in Melbourne bring participants together in a fun, welcoming environment to build friendships, social skills, and confidence. Community participation NDIS group programs run regularly across Melbourne, Ballarat, and Geelong.

Who Needs a Continence Assessment?

You may benefit from a continence assessment if you or your loved one:

Experiences regular or occasional incontinence
Has trouble managing toileting due to a physical or cognitive disability
Uses continence aids (like pads or catheters) and wants to review them
Needs professional advice for managing symptoms
Requires continence support under their NDIS plan

We work with both NDIS participants and private clientsparticipants across Australia. Our team specialises in continence assessments for people with disabilities, chronic conditions, and age-related challenges.

What Happens During a Continence Nurse Assessment in Melbourne?

Questions Your Continence Nurse Will Ask

Bladder and Bowel Review – What the Nurse Assesses

Your continence nurse will conduct a thorough clinical review of both bladder and bowel function, identifying patterns, triggers, and underlying causes that inform your continence assessment NDIS report.
