Community nursing care plays an essential role in supporting thousands of NDIS participants across Australia. At P Home Care, our goal is to make every participant feel safe, supported, and cared for in the comfort of their own home. Many people living with disability need reliable health support that is respectful, consistent, and personalised. This is why community nursing services are an important part of the NDIS, offering professional help that makes everyday life easier.
One of the most important parts of community nursing is the work of a wound care nurse. Proper wound management prevents infection, reduces pain, and promotes faster healing. At P Home Care, our wound care nurses use evidence-based methods that support participants with both simple and complex wounds.
Another growing area of support is in home nursing care. More people now prefer receiving medical assistance at home instead of travelling to clinics or hospitals. With P Home Care, participants get access to skilled nurses who come directly to their home and provide safe, high-quality nursing services.
What Is Community Nursing Care Under the NDIS?
Community nursing care is clinical and personal health support delivered by qualified nurses to NDIS participants. These services may include:
- Wound and pressure injury care
- Medication administration
- Continence assessments
- Catheter and stoma care
- Health monitoring
- Chronic disease management
- Post-hospital recovery support
- Assistance with medical equipment
- Education for participants and their families
The NDIS funds nursing services when a participant has a disability-related health need. The aim is to help people maintain independence, improve wellbeing, and prevent avoidable hospital visits.
At P Home Care, our nurses are trained to deliver person-centred services that focus on safety, comfort, and long-term health.
The Role of a Wound Care Nurse in Community Nursing
A wound care nurse is a specially trained nurse who focuses on treating and managing wounds. These wounds may include:
- Chronic wounds
- Pressure sores
- Post-surgical wounds
- Diabetic ulcers
- Skin tears
- Burns
- Infection-related wounds
Wound care nurses assess the wound thoroughly and then create a personalised treatment plan. This includes cleaning, dressing, monitoring healing progress, and educating the participant or family on proper care.
At P Home Care, our wound care nurses use advanced dressings and follow best-practice guidelines. Their goal is to promote fast healing, prevent complications, and reduce discomfort. Many NDIS participants rely on consistent wound care to avoid emergencies, and our team provides professional support directly at home.
Because wounds can worsen quickly without the right treatment, having a skilled wound care nurse visit regularly makes a significant difference to long-term health.
In Home Nursing Care – A Comfortable and Reliable Option
In home nursing care gives participants the chance to receive medical treatment in a familiar environment. This type of support is especially helpful for people who struggle with mobility, chronic conditions, or ongoing medical needs.
Benefits include:
1. Convenience
No need to travel or wait in clinics. Nurses come to the participant’s home at the scheduled time.
2. Safety
Home environments reduce exposure to infections that can occur in hospitals.
3. Comfort
Being at home makes people feel more relaxed and supported, especially during recovery.
4. Personalised Attention
In home nursing care allows the nurse to focus entirely on one participant.
5. Better Health Monitoring
Nurses can observe the participant’s environment, routines, and potential health risks.
At P Home Care, our in home nursing care services are designed to be flexible. Whether someone needs daily care, weekly visits, or short-term post-hospital support, our nurses provide safe and reliable care.
