Delivery Of Health Supports By An Enrolled Nurse - Sunday

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (15_403_0114_1_3) provides for the Delivery of Health Supports by an Enrolled Nurse (EN), which is allocated from the Core Supports category, specifically Assistance with Daily Living. It ensures participants with ongoing, complex health or medical needs receive necessary clinical assistance.

The service must be performed by a professional, registered Enrolled Nurse (EN). The EN is qualified to undertake delegated clinical tasks that require a higher level of skill and judgment than those provided by a standard disability support worker.

Core services covered under this high-intensity support include:

PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) feeding and tube management.

Delivery of complex medications via various routes.

Maintaining clinical care plans and protocols in conjunction with an RN or medical professional.

Monitoring vital signs and recognising and responding to complex health changes.

This support item is specifically used for services delivered on a Sunday. Supports delivered on a Sunday are priced to reflect the penalty rates associated with non-standard working hours, guaranteeing the availability of essential, specialised nursing care seven days a week to support the participant's well-being and stability in their home or community.
