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.

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 High Intensity Daily Support

High Intensity Daily Personal Activities covers complex care needs that go beyond standard personal care. This includes bowel care, ventilator management, tracheostomy care, complex wound management, enteral feeding (PEG/NGT), subcutaneous injections, and seizure management. Providers must hold specific High Intensity registration and employ appropriately qualified staff.

With 138 providers across all states and territories, high intensity daily support is a specialist registration group. Provider availability varies by location, so check suburb-level results for accurate coverage.

High Intensity Daily Support 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_020_0120_1_1 House Cleaning And Other Household Activities $58.03 per hour

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

What High Intensity Daily Support Covers

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

Bowel Care

Assistance with bowel management programs, including manual evacuation techniques. Requires specifically trained workers with competency assessment documentation.

Ventilator and Respiratory Support

Management of ventilators, BiPAP/CPAP machines, suctioning, and respiratory monitoring. Workers need respiratory competency training and access to clinical supervision.

Tracheostomy Management

Care and maintenance of tracheostomy tubes, suctioning, emergency tube replacement procedures. One of the highest-risk support activities requiring specific clinical governance.

Enteral Feeding (PEG/NGT)

Administration of nutrition through PEG tubes or nasogastric tubes, including flushing, site care, and monitoring for complications. Requires trained workers and clear escalation protocols.

Complex Wound Management

Wound care beyond basic first aid, including dressing changes for chronic wounds, pressure injury management, and post-surgical wound care. Usually involves both nursing and support worker roles.

Seizure Management

Monitoring for seizure activity, administering emergency seizure medication (Midazolam), post-seizure care, and documentation. All workers supporting participants with seizure disorders should have seizure first aid training.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for high intensity daily support.

1.

A participant with quadriplegia is being discharged from hospital and needs 24/7 support including ventilator management overnight. Start the referral process 4-6 weeks before discharge. Coordinate with the hospital discharge planner and request a clinical handover.

2.

A participant's current provider cannot cover night shifts for tracheostomy care. You need a second provider with high intensity registration to fill the gap. Ensure both providers communicate about the participant's care plan.

3.

A participant with epilepsy needs a new support worker trained in Midazolam administration. Check that the provider has a Midazolam protocol, that the prescribing GP has provided standing orders, and that the worker completes competency assessment before starting.

What to Expect After Referral

High intensity providers typically conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment before starting services. This includes a home environment risk assessment, clinical task analysis, and development of individual clinical protocols. Expect 2-4 weeks for onboarding. The provider should assign a clinical lead (usually an RN) who oversees worker competency and provides ongoing supervision.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a high intensity daily support provider may not be delivering quality services.

No clinical governance framework or named clinical lead

Workers performing clinical tasks they have not been assessed as competent for

No written clinical protocols specific to the participant

Provider unable to provide evidence of worker competency assessments

No escalation pathway for clinical emergencies

Insufficient staffing for the level of support required (e.g., single worker for two-person care)

High Intensity supports almost always work alongside Community Nursing (for RN assessments and oversight), Assistive Technology (for medical equipment), and Standard Daily Personal Activities (for non-clinical support during the same shifts). Ensure the high intensity provider coordinates closely with the participant's GP and any specialist medical team.

Referral Tips for High Intensity Daily Support

High intensity referrals require extra diligence. Confirm the provider has staff qualified for the specific clinical task (not just general disability support workers). Request evidence of their clinical governance framework and incident management procedures. For participants transitioning from hospital, coordinate with the discharge planner to ensure continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as high intensity support under the NDIS?
High intensity supports include bowel care, ventilator or respiratory support, tracheostomy management, complex wound care, enteral feeding (PEG or NGT), subcutaneous injections, urinary catheter management, and seizure management. These require providers registered under the High Intensity Daily Personal Activities group.
Can a standard support worker deliver high intensity care?
No. High intensity supports require workers with specific clinical training and competency assessments. The provider must have appropriate clinical governance, supervision arrangements, and incident management processes in place.
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.
