Delivery Of Health Supports By An Enrolled Nurse - Sunday

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (01_603_0114_1_1) is funded under the Core Support category, specifically within the registration group for Daily Activities (0114). It is intended for the provision of complex, disability-related health supports that require the professional skills and license of an Enrolled Nurse (EN).

Purpose of the Support Item

This line item ensures NDIS participants who rely on consistent, high-level clinical care can maintain their essential health routines on a Sunday. It covers the direct service time of an Enrolled Nurse (EN), whose qualifications allow them to perform or manage health tasks that cannot be delegated to non-nursing support staff.

This item is exclusively claimed for all hours of nursing services provided on a Sunday. The pricing for this support reflects the highest loading of the week, acknowledging the increased cost and operational complexity of securing qualified nursing staff for care delivery on a Sunday.

What the Support Covers

This hourly support covers the time the Enrolled Nurse spends actively delivering necessary clinical and health-related supports on a Sunday, including, but not limited to:

Complex Clinical Care: Carrying out scheduled weekend clinical interventions, such as administering specialised feeds, complex wound dressing changes, or the management of continence and stoma care.

Medication Management: Safely administering medications that require nursing oversight, including complex injections, infusions, or comprehensive drug monitoring.

Health and Wellness Checks: Performing thorough, nurse-led monitoring and assessment of vital signs or chronic condition symptoms to ensure stability and early intervention if required.

Important Note

This item should only be claimed when the participant's disability-related clinical needs necessitate the skills of a registered nursing professional. It is not designed to fund routine daily living supports that can be provided by a standard support worker. The support must align with the participant's NDIS plan goals.
