Our Home Health Care Program Include

Clinical Nurse

A Clinical Nurse is a more experienced and skilled 

Registered Nurse. Duties of a Clinical Nurse will substantially include, but are not confined to, delivering direct and comprehensive nursing care and individual case management to specific  patients or clients who are NDIS recipients and have complex needs.

Registered Nurse

A Registered Nurse is a person who has completed the prescribed education preparation, demonstrates competence to practice, and is registered under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law as a Registered Nurse in Australia.

An RN can provide support with Wound Care, Catheter Care, Bowel Care, PEG and Gastrostomy Feeds, Disability Care, Palliative Care etc.

RN’s are responsible for assessing, planning, and the evaluation of nursing care for patients.

They perform tasks such as coordinating the care of patients, providing treatments and therapies, including medication, and monitoring patient responses to both the treatment and the care plan.

Enrolled Nurses

An Enrolled Nurse is a person who provides nursing care under the direct or indirect supervision of a Registered Nurse. They have completed the prescribed education preparation, and demonstrated competence to practice under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law as an Enrolled Nurse in Australia. Enrolled Nurses are accountable for their own practice and remain responsible to a Registered Nurse for the delegated care.

While EN’s are also responsible for interventions, treatments and therapies such as administering medications and monitoring responses to treatments and care plans, they do this under the supervision of an RN.

An EN also assesses, plans and implements nursing care for patients


Support Workers

Disability Support Workers provide care to people living with disability who may need extra support or supervision in their home.

The client may have low or high support needs, which will impact the types of tasks that you will need the DSW to perform for or with you.

Disability Support Workers can help with outings by helping plan excursions and transport people to and from their home. This helps to facilitate participation in the community and social activities.

In the home, Disability Support Workers can help with preparing meals, and other domestic tasks like cleaning, grocery shopping and meal preparation.

Disability Support 

Workers can offer assistance to people with disability with personal care, including showering, dressing and other personal needs.

Depending on their training and qualifications, they may also assist clients with higher needs with medication management and other clinical needs.
