What Community Nursing Covers

The Community Nursing registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

Registered Nurse (RN) Services

Health assessments, medication administration, wound care, continence assessments, diabetes management, respiratory care, clinical supervision of support workers. RNs are required for complex clinical tasks and care plan development.

Enrolled Nurse (EN) Services

Medication administration, wound dressing changes, vital signs monitoring, clinical observations. ENs work under RN supervision and are appropriate for routine clinical tasks that do not require RN-level assessment.

Health Management Plans

Development and review of participant health management plans, including medication management plans, diabetes action plans, epilepsy management plans, and wound care plans.

Clinical Training for Support Workers

RNs can train and assess support workers for specific clinical tasks (e.g., PEG feeding, catheter care) that would otherwise require nursing visits. This can reduce ongoing costs while maintaining safety.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for community nursing in St Albans.

1.

A participant with diabetes needs a nurse to develop a diabetes management plan, train their support workers on blood sugar monitoring and insulin administration, and conduct monthly reviews. Refer to a community nursing provider with diabetes experience.

2.

A participant has a chronic wound that is not healing. Refer to a community nursing provider for wound assessment and a wound care plan. The RN may recommend referral to a wound specialist or additional equipment.

3.

A participant's support workers need clinical training on PEG feeding. Refer to a community nursing provider who can train workers, assess their competency, and provide ongoing clinical oversight.

What to Expect After Referral

Community nursing services typically begin with an RN assessment of the participant's clinical needs. The RN develops or reviews clinical care plans, trains support workers where appropriate, and establishes a review schedule. Ongoing visits may be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly depending on clinical complexity. Expect the RN to provide written care plans and training records.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a community nursing provider may not be delivering quality services.

No written care plans or clinical protocols

Support workers performing clinical tasks without RN training or oversight

Nurse not communicating with the participant's GP about changes in health status

No process for updating care plans when the participant's condition changes

Provider not maintaining clinical records or incident documentation

Community Nursing works closely with High Intensity Daily Support (RNs supervise high intensity workers), Daily Personal Activities (clinical handover between nurses and support workers), and Therapeutic Supports (coordinating with allied health professionals on participant health goals). When referring, check if the nursing provider also provides high intensity support to avoid needing a separate provider.

Referral Tips for Community Nursing

When referring for community nursing, specify whether you need an RN or EN, the clinical tasks required, and the frequency of visits. Check if the provider can do initial assessments within your timeframe. For participants with both nursing and personal care needs, consider whether one provider can cover both to reduce coordination overhead.

What to Check Before Making a Referral

Registration Status

Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for community nursing. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.

Service Area

Confirm the provider services St Albans and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Western Melbourne region.

Availability and Waitlists

Ask about current waitlist times. For urgent referrals, check multiple providers simultaneously to find the fastest availability.

Cultural and Language Needs

Match the participant's cultural background and language preferences where possible. Ask providers about staff diversity and interpreter availability.

Cancellation Policy

Review the provider's short notice cancellation terms. Under the NDIS Price Guide, providers can charge up to 100% for cancellations within 2 business days.

Reporting and Communication

Agree on how the provider will report progress to you. Regular updates make your own progress reports and plan review preparation much easier.

Can community nursing be funded under NDIS Core or Capacity Building?

What should I do if there are no available providers in St Albans?
Expand your search to nearby suburbs. Many providers in the Western Melbourne region service multiple suburbs. You can also submit a referral through our form above, and we will search our full database of community nursing providers in the area.
How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?
Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. The register shows current registration status, registration groups, and any conditions on registration. Providers listed on Carevo display their NDIS registration status on their profile.
What information should I include when making a referral?
Include the participant's name (with consent), their NDIS plan number, the relevant line items and budget available, the service frequency needed, any specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details as the referring coordinator. The more detail you provide, the faster the provider can assess whether they can accept the referral.
