For many on the NDIS, in-home nursing care is a crucial component of daily life. The provision of NDIS nursing services ensures that those with significant and permanent disabilities receive the medical support they need within their own community or home environment.
New Growth can help you access the nursing support you need, whether it’s quick check-ins or round-the-clock care.
We have dedicated nurses within New Growth who can provide you with these services – we’ll match you up with the nurse who’s best suited to you and your lifestyle.
NDIS nursing refers to the array of nursing services provided to participants under the NDIS framework. This specialised branch of healthcare delivers a broad spectrum of care, from complex clinical care to basic wound management.

NDIS nursing covers several services, including:
These services are provided by qualified nurses experienced in working within the community, who understand the unique needs of individuals on the NDIS.
To access NDIS nursing services, you need to be an NDIS participant with an approved plan that includes funding for health and disability-related supports.

These services are tailored to those who require nursing due to their disability, rather than for general health needs unrelated to disability.
