Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (15_405_0114_1_3) is categorized under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Living, and specifically funds the Delivery of Health Supports by an Enrolled Nurse (EN). It is a High Intensity Support designed to meet the complex and ongoing clinical needs of NDIS participants during the overnight period.

The service must be provided by a currently registered Enrolled Nurse (EN). The EN is responsible for safely managing complex, non-delegable health tasks that require formal nursing qualifications and clinical judgment, ensuring continuous and safe care is maintained while the participant is sleeping or resting.

Common high-intensity nursing supports provided under this night-time line item include:

Overnight Monitoring: Regular checks and assessment of the participant's complex health needs, such as non-invasive ventilation or seizure management.

Complex Medication Management: Administration of scheduled overnight medications, including subcutaneous injections.

Gastrostomy Care: Ongoing care and management of tubes for feeding or decompression throughout the night.

Responding to Clinical Changes: Timely recognition and appropriate response to any sudden or emergent deterioration in the participant's health status.

This line item is for services delivered during Weekday Night hours (typically defined as after 8:00 PM and before 6:00 AM, Monday to Friday). The pricing reflects the increased cost of providing professional, specialised clinical care outside of standard daytime hours, ensuring critical support is available 24/7.
