Plan support around life in Canberra

Support across the ACT

Include your suburb and the places you regularly travel to. This helps the team discuss worker scheduling and whether the requested service is available for your routine.

Appointments and daily living

Describe what assistance is needed before, during and after an outing. Personal support, nursing tasks and transport arrangements need to be discussed separately so responsibilities are clear.

Contact before an office visit

Call ahead to confirm meeting arrangements and accessibility needs. A phone discussion can help identify the service and information needed before an appointment.

Nursing care in everyday settings

Prime 1 Care’s nursing services include enquiries about wound care, medication support, continence and catheter care, enteral feeding and support after a hospital stay. The exact task and availability must be assessed and confirmed.

Registered nursing and clinical responsibilities

Discuss the required nursing qualifications, care plan, clinical instructions and who is responsible for oversight. A nursing service should have a clear scope, visit schedule and process for reviewing changes.

Work with existing care

With consent, planning can involve the participant’s GP, hospital, allied health professionals, carers and other providers. Clarify which team provides clinical advice and how relevant information is shared.

Clear answers. A place to start.

Can a nurse visit me at home?

Contact Prime 1 Care with your location and the nursing support needed. The team will discuss assessment, the required clinical plan, visit arrangements and current nurse availability.

Is every nursing task funded by the NDIS?

Funding arrangements depend on the person’s circumstances and the support required. Confirm the applicable funding or payment arrangement with the relevant parties before services begin.
