Community Nursing Canberra

At Prime 1 Care, we are committed to providing respectful, high-quality community nursing services across Canberra and the surrounding Canberra ACT region. We understand that health needs are not always best addressed inside a hospital; sometimes, what matters most is skilled, compassionate care, delivered directly to you at home or in your community. Our Community Nursing Canberra service is designed to bring professional nursing support to individuals and families who require more than everyday assistance but who prefer to stay in familiar surroundings.

What Is Community Nursing?

Community nursing, sometimes called community health nursing, involves delivering clinical care, health education, and ongoing support outside traditional hospital settings. Rather than treating acute conditions in a busy hospital ward, our community nurses operate within homes, community health settings, or other local facilities, offering personalised, person-centred care.

This model of care emphasises prevention, continuity, and long-term support, particularly for people managing chronic illness, recovering from hospital treatment, living with a disability, or needing complex medical or personal care. In short, community nursing brings the healthcare you need into the place where you feel most comfortable, your home.

Why Choose Us?

For many Canberrans, navigating hospital appointments, transport, and parking is a source of stress, especially when ongoing care or regular support is required. Community nursing offers a realistic alternative. Some of the key advantages include:

  • Comfort and convenience — care at home reduces the need for travel, hospital visits, and associated disruptions.
  • Faster, more comfortable recovery — being in familiar surroundings often aids healing, especially after surgery or during long-term care.
  • Personalised, consistent care — our nurses work with you to craft tailored care plans based on your needs. Regular visits and long-term relationships help support continuity and trust.
  • Support for chronic conditions and complex needs — whether you live with diabetes, a chronic illness, mobility challenges, or require wound or catheter care, community nursing ensures you’re supported in a safe, familiar environment.
  • Reduced burden on hospitals — by managing care in the community, we help avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and reduce strain on acute-care facilities.

At Prime 1 Care, we believe these benefits matter not just for clients, but for their families and carers, too.

Health education and wellness programs

Empowering clients and their carers with knowledge to manage their health, avoid complications, and improve overall wellbeing.

Each service is provided by experienced, registered community nurses, qualified to deliver safe and compliant care in line with Australian healthcare regulations.

How We Work?

At the heart of our service lies a commitment to tailoring care to the unique needs of each client. Our process typically follows these steps:

1. Initial consultation and assessment

When you contact us, we begin with a detailed discussion to understand your health history, current needs, lifestyle, and preferences. This assessment ensures we tailor our services to match your situation.

2. Individual care plan creation

Based on the assessment (and in consultation with your GP, specialists, or other carers if required), we design a personalised care plan outlining care frequency, types of support, clinical tasks, wellness goals, and review schedules.

3. Scheduled visits and ongoing monitoring

Our community nurses visit you at home or in your preferred setting, performing required clinical care, monitoring health indicators, and adjusting care as needed. Regular reviews ensure your plan evolves with your needs.

4. Communication and care coordination

We coordinate with your other care providers (GPs, specialists, allied health professionals) as necessary to ensure comprehensive, integrated care. Families/carers are kept informed and supported.

5. Flexible, long-term support

Whether you need short-term recovery care after hospital discharge or ongoing support for chronic or complex needs, we adapt to your requirements, ensuring continuity, dignity, and quality of life.

We believe in delivering care that respects your independence, privacy, and lifestyle without compromising on clinical safety or quality.
