How providers are verified

When you refer a participant through MD Home Care, you are referring to a provider cross-checked against the official Australian registers. Here is what is verified before a provider appears in the directory.

NDIS register cross-check

Every NDIS-registered provider listed is verified against the NDIS Commission register. Registration numbers and approved support groups are pulled from the official register, not self-declared.

Aged care approval status

Aged care approved status reflects the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care approved provider list, including service types and category groups.

ABN verification

Every listing includes an Australian Business Number. Providers without a valid, active ABN do not appear in our directory.

Complaints process

If you or a participant has a concern, the NDIS Commission handles complaints about NDIS providers and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission handles aged care complaints. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

About Community Nursing

Community nursing covers registered nurse (RN) and enrolled nurse (EN) services delivered in the participant's home or community. This includes health assessments, medication administration, wound care, continence management, diabetes management, and development of health management plans. Providers must hold the Community Nursing Care registration group.

With 219 providers across all states and territories, community nursing is a specialist registration group. Provider availability varies by location, so check suburb-level results for accurate coverage.

Community Nursing Pricing

The following NDIS price limits apply under the 2025-26 NDIS Pricing Arrangements. These are maximum rates for standard metropolitan areas. Remote and very remote loadings apply in eligible areas.

Line Item Description Price Limit
01_026_0115_1_1 Assistance In Living Arrangements (Host Family/Alternative Family Situation) Quote required
01_027_0115_1_1 Assistance In A Shared Living Arrangement Quote required

Evening, Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday rates are higher than weekday daytime rates shown above.

What Community Nursing Covers

The Community Nursing registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

Registered Nurse (RN) Services

Health assessments, medication administration, wound care, continence assessments, diabetes management, respiratory care, clinical supervision of support workers. RNs are required for complex clinical tasks and care plan development.

Enrolled Nurse (EN) Services

Medication administration, wound dressing changes, vital signs monitoring, clinical observations. ENs work under RN supervision and are appropriate for routine clinical tasks that do not require RN-level assessment.

Health Management Plans

Development and review of participant health management plans, including medication management plans, diabetes action plans, epilepsy management plans, and wound care plans.

Clinical Training for Support Workers

RNs can train and assess support workers for specific clinical tasks (e.g., PEG feeding, catheter care) that would otherwise require nursing visits. This can reduce ongoing costs while maintaining safety.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for community nursing.

1.

A participant with diabetes needs a nurse to develop a diabetes management plan, train their support workers on blood sugar monitoring and insulin administration, and conduct monthly reviews. Refer to a community nursing provider with diabetes experience.

2.

A participant has a chronic wound that is not healing. Refer to a community nursing provider for wound assessment and a wound care plan. The RN may recommend referral to a wound specialist or additional equipment.

3.

A participant's support workers need clinical training on PEG feeding. Refer to a community nursing provider who can train workers, assess their competency, and provide ongoing clinical oversight.

What to Expect After Referral

Community nursing services typically begin with an RN assessment of the participant's clinical needs. The RN develops or reviews clinical care plans, trains support workers where appropriate, and establishes a review schedule. Ongoing visits may be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly depending on clinical complexity. Expect the RN to provide written care plans and training records.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a community nursing provider may not be delivering quality services.

No written care plans or clinical protocols

Support workers performing clinical tasks without RN training or oversight

Nurse not communicating with the participant's GP about changes in health status

No process for updating care plans when the participant's condition changes

Provider not maintaining clinical records or incident documentation

Community Nursing works closely with High Intensity Daily Support (RNs supervise high intensity workers), Daily Personal Activities (clinical handover between nurses and support workers), and Therapeutic Supports (coordinating with allied health professionals on participant health goals). When referring, check if the nursing provider also provides high intensity support to avoid needing a separate provider.

Referral Tips for Community Nursing

When referring for community nursing, specify whether you need an RN or EN, the clinical tasks required, and the frequency of visits. Check if the provider can do initial assessments within your timeframe. For participants with both nursing and personal care needs, consider whether one provider can cover both to reduce coordination overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NDIS rate for community nursing in Australia?
Registered nurse (RN) services are $110.14 per hour weekday daytime. Enrolled nurse (EN) services are $82.62 per hour. Evening, Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday loadings apply above these base rates.
Can community nursing be funded under NDIS Core or Capacity Building?
Community nursing for disability-related health needs is typically funded under Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life). Health assessments and management plans may fall under Capacity Building (Improved Daily Living). Check the participant's plan to confirm where nursing funding sits.
Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?
No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can use both registered and unregistered providers.
How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?
Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. Providers listed on MD Home Care display their registration status on their profile.
What information should I include when making a referral?
Include the participant's name (with consent), NDIS plan number, relevant line items, budget available, service frequency, specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details.
