What is home nursing care?
Home nursing is clinical care delivered in a person’s home by a Registered Nurse (RN) or Enrolled Nurse (EN), covering tasks such as wound care, medication management, catheter and continence care, and palliative support. Nurses must hold current registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency to practise (AHPRA, 2025). It sits under the NDIS Community Nursing Care registration group or Support at Home’s clinical care category, funded separately from personal care support workers.
How to choose a provider for this service
The list above is ranked using the criteria explained in the methodology above it. Four checks matter specifically when you compare nursing providers.
Registration. Confirm the individual nurse holds current AHPRA registration and check the organisation against the NDIS Commission or My Aged Care registers, not just its own website.
Response time. Post-hospital and palliative referrals often can’t wait. Benchmark a provider’s actual reply speed against the response-time table further down this page rather than a stated turnaround.
Pricing transparency. Ask for a written rate card showing RN and EN hourly rates separately, whether you’re funded through NDIS Core Supports or a Support at Home budget.
Coverage. Nursing is named in 112 of the 4,347 tracked inquiries on Carevo, but nurses aren’t rostered in every suburb; confirm the provider has clinical staff actually working in your area before you commit.
Which funding pays for home nursing, and who qualifies?
Nursing is funded two ways depending on age and need. For people under 65 with a permanent disability, the NDIS funds nursing under Core Supports as a disability-related health support where the need is linked to the disability; a plan manager or support coordinator confirms what’s included in your plan (NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, 2025). For people 65 and over, or 50 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Support at Home funds nursing as a clinical support, fully government funded with no participant contribution, after an assessment through the Single Assessment System (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). Lower-intensity nursing under CHSP suits people not yet assessed for Support at Home.
Availability
Carevo lists nursing among 28,004 NDIS providers and 2,619 aged care providers across 4,782 suburbs nationally, with records updated 2026-06-27. For lower-intensity nursing linked to a CHSP plan, see community nursing care; veterans with a DVA Gold or White Card can compare options on the DVA-funded home care page.
How this page is compiled
The provider rankings and figures on this page come from Carevo platform records, including provider registrations, measured response times and coverage, together with the cited official sources. Carevo is an Australian platform that connects families with vetted NDIS and aged care providers. Carevo does not deliver care itself.
