Expert Clinical Care. Advanced Health Management. Your Wellbeing, Safely Guided.
Managing complex health conditions requires more than everyday assistance—it demands professional medical expertise, sharp clinical judgment, and absolute trust. At Supportive Hands Disability Services, our community nursing care brings fully qualified Registered Nurses (RNs) directly into your home. We bridge the gap between clinical healthcare and independent living, ensuring your medical needs are managed with precision, dignity, and the highest standards of safety across Geelong.
NDIS Registration Group 0114: Specialised Clinical Support at Home
This service is funded under either your NDIS Core Supports or Capacity Building (Improved Daily Living) budget. Unlike standard support work, Community Nursing Care is exclusively delivered or strictly supervised by a Registered Nurse operating under AHPRA regulations.
Our approach follows a strength-based model: while we manage your medical complexities with clinical accuracy, we focus heavily on preventative care, family education, and building your capacity so you can understand and manage your health with complete confidence.
Complex Wound Care & Skin Integrity Management: Professional Healing
Chronic wounds or vulnerable skin conditions require expert clinical oversight to prevent severe health complications:
- Advanced Wound Assessment: Continuous medical evaluation of surgical wounds, ulcers, or injuries by a trained nurse.
- Sterile Dressing and Management: Utilizing clinical, sterile techniques to clean and dress wounds, minimizing infection risks.
- Pressure Injury Prevention: Designing specialized positioning charts, mattress selections, and skin check routines to protect your comfort.
Enteral Feeding & Medication Governance: Absolute Medical Precision
Administering complex medications and managing clinical feeding equipment requires advanced technical precision and strict scheduling:
- Enteral Feeding (PEG/Nasogastric): Safely managing feeding tubes, monitoring nutritional delivery, and keeping insertion sites perfectly clean.
- Subcutaneous Injections & Infusions: Clinical administration of regular insulin, blood thinners, or specialized physician-prescribed injections.
- Rigorous Medication Reviews: Overseeing complex medication regimes to track side effects, manage dosages, and update your doctor.
High-Intensity Health Supports: Care Planning and Support Staff Training
A critical part of our nursing service involves creating a protective health framework around you, ensuring your daily support team is flawlessly trained:
- Custom Clinical Care Plans: Authoring comprehensive, official NDIS-compliant healthcare plans for bowel care, epilepsy management, or catheter care.
- Support Worker Competency Training: Our Registered Nurses directly train and legally delegate high-intensity tasks to your daily support workers.
- Ongoing Competency Assessments: Regularly auditing support workers to certify they are safely carrying out delegated daily care tasks.
