What Is Community Nursing Care Under the NDIS?
Community Nursing Care (NDIS Support Category 0114) provides nursing services that are directly related to a participant’s disability needs and are delivered by appropriately qualified nurses.
The purpose of community nursing is to support participants to remain healthy, safe, and independent while living in their own homes and communities.
These services may include ongoing clinical care, education, monitoring, and assistance with complex health needs that would otherwise impact a person’s ability to manage daily life.
Community nursing under the NDIS is often used by participants who require regular nursing interventions as part of their support plan.
What Is In-Home Nursing Care?
In-home nursing care refers to professional nursing services delivered within an individual’s home environment rather than in a hospital or residential setting.
Receiving nursing support at home allows people to maintain their routines, stay connected to their communities, and receive care in a familiar and comfortable setting.
For many adults living with disability, chronic health conditions, or increasing support needs, home nursing can improve both quality of life and health outcomes.
At Raha Community Care, our nursing services are tailored to each person’s unique circumstances, goals, and preferences.
Why Is Home Nursing Important?
Home nursing services play an increasingly important role in modern healthcare.
Benefits of in-home nursing care include:
- Supporting independence and choice.
- Reducing unnecessary hospital admissions.
- Assisting with the management of complex health conditions.
- Providing education and reassurance to participants and families.
- Improving continuity of care through regular monitoring.
- Helping individuals remain active participants in their communities.
For many people, receiving care at home also promotes emotional wellbeing by allowing them to remain close to family, friends, and familiar surroundings.
How Raha Community Care Delivers Nursing Support
Registered Nurse-Led Coordination
One of the key differences at Raha Community Care is that our nursing services are coordinated and overseen by registered nurses.
Our nurses take the time to understand each person’s health needs, support goals, and existing care arrangements. We collaborate with participants, families, GPs, specialists, allied health professionals, and support coordinators to ensure that care is well-planned and responsive.
This nurse-led approach promotes quality, consistency, and confidence for everyone involved.
Multilingual and Culturally Responsive Care
Communication is an essential part of effective healthcare.
Our multilingual team enables us to support participants and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, helping individuals feel understood, respected, and empowered throughout their care journey.
We recognise that culturally sensitive care contributes to stronger relationships and better outcomes.
Who Can Access Community Nursing Services?
NDIS Participants
Adults aged 18 years and over who have Community Nursing Care included within their NDIS plan may be eligible to receive these supports.
If you are unsure whether your plan covers nursing services, our team can assist you in understanding your available supports.
Private Clients
We also provide private nursing services for adults who are not accessing the NDIS.
This may include individuals who require short-term support following illness or hospital discharge, ongoing management of chronic health conditions, or additional nursing assistance outside of their funded supports.
Private nursing offers flexibility and continuity for those seeking professional care in the home.

The Role of Community Nursing in Modern Healthcare
Healthcare is increasingly moving beyond hospitals and into the community.
Community nursing services help bridge the gap between acute healthcare settings and everyday life, ensuring that individuals continue to receive appropriate support while remaining active members of their communities.
By delivering nursing care closer to home, community nurses contribute to:
- Improved access to healthcare services.
- Better management of ongoing conditions.
- Reduced pressure on hospitals and emergency departments.
- Enhanced quality of life for participants and families.
- Greater independence and participation within the community.
This model of care aligns closely with the values of choice, control, and inclusion that underpin the NDIS.
