What High Intensity Daily Support Covers
The High Intensity Daily Support registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.
Bowel Care
Assistance with bowel management programs, including manual evacuation techniques. Requires specifically trained workers with competency assessment documentation.
Ventilator and Respiratory Support
Management of ventilators, BiPAP/CPAP machines, suctioning, and respiratory monitoring. Workers need respiratory competency training and access to clinical supervision.
Tracheostomy Management
Care and maintenance of tracheostomy tubes, suctioning, emergency tube replacement procedures. One of the highest-risk support activities requiring specific clinical governance.
Enteral Feeding (PEG/NGT)
Administration of nutrition through PEG tubes or nasogastric tubes, including flushing, site care, and monitoring for complications. Requires trained workers and clear escalation protocols.
Complex Wound Management
Wound care beyond basic first aid, including dressing changes for chronic wounds, pressure injury management, and post-surgical wound care. Usually involves both nursing and support worker roles.
Seizure Management
Monitoring for seizure activity, administering emergency seizure medication (Midazolam), post-seizure care, and documentation. All workers supporting participants with seizure disorders should have seizure first aid training.
Common Referral Scenarios
Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for high intensity daily support in Cheltenham.
A participant with quadriplegia is being discharged from hospital and needs 24/7 support including ventilator management overnight. Start the referral process 4-6 weeks before discharge. Coordinate with the hospital discharge planner and request a clinical handover.
A participant's current provider cannot cover night shifts for tracheostomy care. You need a second provider with high intensity registration to fill the gap. Ensure both providers communicate about the participant's care plan.
A participant with epilepsy needs a new support worker trained in Midazolam administration. Check that the provider has a Midazolam protocol, that the prescribing GP has provided standing orders, and that the worker completes competency assessment before starting.
What to Expect After Referral
High intensity providers typically conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment before starting services. This includes a home environment risk assessment, clinical task analysis, and development of individual clinical protocols. Expect 2-4 weeks for onboarding. The provider should assign a clinical lead (usually an RN) who oversees worker competency and provides ongoing supervision.
Red Flags to Watch For
Warning signs that a high intensity daily support provider may not be delivering quality services.
No clinical governance framework or named clinical lead
Workers performing clinical tasks they have not been assessed as competent for
No written clinical protocols specific to the participant
Provider unable to provide evidence of worker competency assessments
No escalation pathway for clinical emergencies
Insufficient staffing for the level of support required (e.g., single worker for two-person care)
How High Intensity Daily Support Works with Other Supports
High Intensity supports almost always work alongside Community Nursing (for RN assessments and oversight), Assistive Technology (for medical equipment), and Standard Daily Personal Activities (for non-clinical support during the same shifts). Ensure the high intensity provider coordinates closely with the participant's GP and any specialist medical team.

Referral Tips for High Intensity Daily Support
High intensity referrals require extra diligence. Confirm the provider has staff qualified for the specific clinical task (not just general disability support workers). Request evidence of their clinical governance framework and incident management procedures. For participants transitioning from hospital, coordinate with the discharge planner to ensure continuity.
What to Check Before Making a Referral
Registration Status
Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for high intensity daily support. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.
Service Area
Confirm the provider services Cheltenham and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Bayside 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.
Victoria NDIS Regulations and Compliance
All high intensity daily support providers in Cheltenham must comply with the NDIS Practice Standards and the NDIS Code of Conduct. The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission oversees provider registration, complaints, and compliance enforcement in Victoria.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as high intensity support under the NDIS?
High intensity supports include bowel care, ventilator or respiratory support, tracheostomy management, complex wound care, enteral feeding (PEG or NGT), subcutaneous injections, urinary catheter management, and seizure management. These require providers registered under the High Intensity Daily Personal Activities group.
Can a standard support worker deliver high intensity care?
No. High intensity supports require workers with specific clinical training and competency assessments. The provider must have appropriate clinical governance, supervision arrangements, and incident management processes in place.
Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?
No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. If the participant is plan-managed or self-managed, they can use both registered and unregistered providers. Check the participant's plan management type before making a referral.
What should I do if there are no available providers in Cheltenham?
Expand your search to nearby suburbs. Many providers in the Bayside Melbourne region service multiple suburbs. You can also submit a referral through our form above, and we will search our full database of high intensity daily support 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.
