Clinical rigour first
1 Care Connect was founded with nursing at its core, not as an add-on but as the backbone of every support we deliver. Our community nursing team brings hospital-grade clinical standards into participants' homes and communities.
Participants do not just receive care. They receive clinically overseen, evidence-based support from nurses who know their history, understand their goals, and actively coordinate with their broader medical team.
- Registered Nurses with AHPRA registration and current clinical training
- Community nursing integrated with all NDIS support services
- Comprehensive clinical handover and documentation standards
- Consistent nurses, participants keep the same community nursing team
- Emergency response protocols for all high-risk participants
For participants with complex or high physical support needs
Our community nursing services are designed for NDIS participants whose clinical health needs go beyond what a typical support worker can safely manage. If you or someone you support has complex health requirements, our community nurses can help.
- Participants with ventilator dependency or tracheostomies
- People requiring ongoing bowel care or catheter management
- Participants with enteral feeding needs (PEG or NG tubes)
- People with epilepsy or complex medication regimens
- Participants transitioning from hospital to home care
- Anyone needing clinical assessments, care planning or carer training
Community nursing is funded under the NDIS as a Capacity Building support under Health and Wellbeing. Speak to your support coordinator or Local Area Coordinator to include it in your NDIS plan.
We are not a provider that employs nurses. We are a nurse-led organisation.
Clinical thinking shapes every service we deliver, for every participant. That is what hospital-grade care at home really means.
Community nursing with the right values behind it
Clinical skill is essential in community nursing. But so is how you show up: with humanity, consistency and genuine care for the person in front of you.
Values-led
Grounded in Christian values: compassion, integrity and a deep respect for every person's dignity, whatever the complexity of their health needs.
Consistent nursing team
Participants are not handed between different nurses each visit. You have a consistent clinical team who knows your health history, preferences and goals.
Nurse-led organisation
We are not just a provider that employs community nurses. Clinical thinking shapes every service we deliver, for every participant.

What is community nursing?
Community nursing brings registered nursing care directly to NDIS participants in their home, SIL accommodation or community. Our community nurses are qualified clinicians who manage complex health needs, from catheter and bowel care to tracheostomy and enteral feeding.
Is community nursing funded by the NDIS?
Yes. Community nursing is funded under the NDIS as a Capacity Building support under Health and Wellbeing. Speak to your support coordinator or Local Area Coordinator to include it in your plan. You can read more on the NDIS website.
Who provides the nursing care?
Qualified Registered Nurses with AHPRA registration and current clinical training. Participants keep a consistent community nursing team who know their health history, rather than being handed between different nurses each visit.
What complex care can you manage at home?
Our community nurses manage ventilator and tracheostomy care, complex bowel care, urinary catheters, continence, enteral feeding (PEG and NG), complex medication regimens, and epilepsy and seizure support, along with assessments, care planning and carer education.
Can you support hospital-to-home transitions?
Yes. We accept referrals from hospital discharge teams and coordinate with GPs, specialists and allied health so the move home is safe. We also train family and support workers so everyone around the participant is confident.
How is community nursing different from a support worker?
Support workers assist with daily tasks. Community nurses are qualified clinicians who deliver and oversee medical care. At 1 Care Connect the two work together: our in home care is nurse-overseen, so clinical and everyday support join up.
