Delivery Of Health Supports By An Enrolled Nurse - Public Holiday

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (15_404_0114_1_3) is utilised for the Delivery of Health Supports by an Enrolled Nurse (EN), a high-intensity support under the Core Supports category, specifically Assistance with Daily Living. It is intended for NDIS participants who require specialised clinical assistance to manage their complex health conditions within their own home or community setting.

The service must be delivered by a qualified and registered Enrolled Nurse (EN), who performs non-delegable tasks that go beyond the scope of a standard disability support worker. This ensures that clinical care is delivered safely and according to professional standards and the participant's detailed health plan.

Clinical support commonly funded under this line item includes:

Complex Bowel Care: Management of bowel disorders and regular maintenance procedures.

Wound Management: Advanced wound care and dressing changes.

Urinary Catheter Care: Management and maintenance of indwelling and supra-pubic catheters.

Supervision and Delegation: Working under the direction of a Registered Nurse (RN) to provide and monitor high-intensity support.

This specific line item is reserved for services delivered on a Public Holiday. The higher rate reflects the cost of securing qualified nursing professionals to provide essential, complex care during designated public holidays, ensuring continuity of critical support for the participant regardless of the day.
