This NDIS support item (15_402_0114_1_3) is for the Delivery of Health Supports by an Enrolled Nurse (EN) for participants with complex medical needs. It is drawn from the Core Supports category, specifically Assistance with Daily Living, providing scheduled, essential clinical care.

The service must be delivered by a registered Enrolled Nurse (EN), who is responsible for providing high-intensity, non-delegable clinical tasks as outlined in the participant's individual health plan and NDIS plan goals.

The high-intensity supports typically covered by a registered EN include:

Enteral feeding and management (e.g., PEG feeding).

Stoma care and management.

Comprehensive medication administration, including injections and infusions.

Respiratory support (e.g., suctioning, cough assist).

This specific line item is designated for services provided on a Saturday. Supports delivered on a Saturday are priced at a higher rate than standard weekday supports to account for weekend penalty rates, ensuring continuous, high-quality nursing care is available to participants every day of the week.
