A registered provider with experienced, dedicated nurses
Our growing team is made up of Registered Nurses and Endorsed Enrolled Nurses who genuinely love working in the community. You’re cared for by people who take the time to know you.
We’re registered with the NDIS, My Aged Care, the TAC, and WorkSafe to provide clinical nursing at home. We also work closely with hospitals and health services to care for patients being discharged who still need nursing support at home.
Who our home nursing is for and how it's funded
Our community nursing suits anyone who needs clinical care at home, whatever your situation or funding. Here’s how people usually access it:
Support at Home and aged care funding
If you’re an older person receiving in-home aged care, nursing can be delivered through your Support at Home program. We’ll help you understand what’s covered.
NDIS community nursing care
If you’re an NDIS participant, we can provide clinical nursing through your plan. As a registered provider, we deliver NDIS community nursing care for participants with complex or ongoing health needs. Learn more about support for NDIS participants.
TAC and WorkSafe
If you have approved nursing services through the TAC or WorkSafe following an accident or workplace injury, we can deliver that care at home.
Private nursing
You can also pay for nursing privately. No funding package or referral needed. Private in-home nursing is often the fastest way to get started.
After a hospital stay
Being discharged but still need nursing? We work with hospitals and health services to make sure your care continues smoothly once you’re home.
What does home nursing cost?
What you pay for community nursing depends on how it’s funded. If you’re using Support at Home, the NDIS, TAC, or WorkSafe, your approved funding usually covers the service, and we’ll help you make sense of it. For private nursing, we’ll give you clear pricing up front. No surprises.
The simplest way to understand your costs is to talk to us. See our funding options or call our Care Advisors on 1300 030 032.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about community nursing
These are some of the most common questions, answered for you.
What is community nursing?
Community nursing is clinical nursing care delivered where you live, rather than in a hospital or clinic. A community nurse comes to your home to provide services like wound care, medication management, catheter care, and post-surgical support, helping you recover and stay well at home.
What does a community nurse do?
A community nurse provides hands-on clinical care at home, e.g. assessing and dressing wounds, giving medications and injections, managing catheters and PEG feeding, removing stitches, and monitoring your health. They also liaise with your doctors and hospital team to keep your care joined up.
What's the difference between a nurse and a community nurse?
The clinical training is the same. A community nurse is a qualified Registered or Enrolled Nurse. The difference is where they work. A community nurse delivers that care in your own home and in the community, rather than on a hospital ward.
How do I arrange a community nurse to visit at home?
Just call us on 1300 030 032 or enquire online. We’ll talk through what you need, confirm how it’s funded, and book your first visit. It is usually next day, and sometimes same day if it’s urgent.
Can I get community nursing through the NDIS?
Yes. We’re a registered NDIS provider and can deliver NDIS community nursing care through your plan, for participants with clinical or complex health needs. We’ll help you check it’s covered before we start.
Is home nursing covered by Support at Home?
Clinical nursing can be delivered through your Support at Home program if it’s part of your care plan. Our Care Advisors will help you understand what your funding covers.
Can I pay for private in-home nursing?
Absolutely. You don’t need a funding package or referral. You can arrange private nursing directly with us. It’s often the quickest way to get care started.
How much does home nursing cost?
It depends on your funding. Support at Home, NDIS, TAC, and WorkSafe funding usually cover approved nursing. For private nursing, we’ll give you clear pricing before anything begins.
Do you provide nursing after a hospital discharge?
Yes. We work with hospitals and health services across Melbourne to continue your nursing care at home once you’re discharged, so nothing falls through the gaps.
Which areas of Melbourne do you cover?
We service most areas throughout Melbourne with next-day appointments, and same-day or on-call nursing where it’s needed. Call us and we’ll confirm we can reach your suburb.
