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 in Mernda.
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.
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.
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
How Community Nursing Works with Other Supports
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.

For participants with both nursing and personal care needs, consider whether one provider can cover both to reduce coordination overhead.
