Community Nursing allows participants to maintain their health and receive hospital level care from the comfort of their homes.

Community nursing supports are available to participants if;

1. They require these supports due to their disability.
2. The support is not funded by another health system/service.
3. The support is value for money.
4. The need for the support is ongoing.

The NDIS does not cover short term, temporary assistance at home after discharge from hospital or rehabilitation.
