Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about service scope, planning, provider roles and support arrangements.
What is included in an NDIS continence assessment?
The nurse may review bladder and bowel concerns, products, routines, mobility, hydration, skin integrity, support needs and relevant clinical history.
Can you recommend continence products?
Yes. Recommendations may address product type, absorbency, fit, sizing, daily use and estimated quantities based on assessed needs.
Can the assessment support an NDIS plan review?
A clinical report may provide relevant evidence about disability-related continence needs. Funding decisions remain with the NDIA or plan decision-maker.
Do you assess catheter-related needs?
Catheter routines and risks may be reviewed as part of a nursing assessment, with referral or separate clinical support arranged where required.
Is the assessment completed at home?
Home-based assessment may be available because it allows the nurse to understand the participant’s routines, bathroom access and support environment.
How often should a continence plan be reviewed?
Review timing depends on the participant’s needs. Earlier review may be required after health, product, medication, mobility or routine changes.
