For participants to access disability-related health supports, their needs must be ongoing and directly tied to a significant and permanent functional impairment. These supports should be integrated into the participant’s NDIS plan, allowing them to utilize these services just like any other item in their plan.

At Nextgen Care, we can offer Community Nursing Care services to participants requiring medical expertise and assistance. Our team of registered nurses is available around the clock, 24/7, to provide the care you need. They can collaborate with you, your medical team, other healthcare professionals, and your family to develop a personalized care and service plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
