Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about service scope, planning, provider roles and support arrangements.
What is NDIS high intensity support?
It is participant-specific support for complex health-related activities that require additional training, competency assessment, written instructions and clinical governance.
Are support workers trained by a Registered Nurse?
Training and competency arrangements depend on the task and participant. Where nursing governance is required, an AHPRA Registered Nurse reviews the clinical instructions and assesses relevant worker competency.
Can workers provide PEG feeding, bowel care or catheter support?
They may provide approved support when it is included in the participant’s plan, supported by clear clinical instructions and delivered by workers who have completed the required training and competency assessment.
What happens if a participant’s condition changes?
Workers follow the written escalation plan, contact the nominated clinical or emergency service and document the change. The care plan and competency requirements may then be reviewed.
Do you provide high intensity support across Sydney?
Services may be arranged across Parramatta, Western Sydney and Greater Sydney, subject to assessed needs, suitable staffing and service availability.
How is this different from community nursing?
Community nursing involves nursing assessment and nursing interventions. High intensity support may include delegated or supported daily activities delivered by trained workers under appropriate clinical governance.
