Meet the Registered Nurse Behind Aspire Hub’s Community Nursing

Community nursing provides clinical care and health support to NDIS participants in their home or community. It can help participants manage disability-related health needs while supporting greater independence in everyday life.

At Aspire Hub, our Community Nurse Angelique works directly with participants to provide nursing support based on their individual needs.

What is NDIS community nursing?

NDIS community nursing provides eligible participants with disability-related health supports outside of a hospital or traditional healthcare setting.

The NDIS may fund health supports where they relate to a participant’s disability and meet the NDIS funding criteria. You can learn more about disability-related health supports through the NDIS.

What can community nursing help with?

Depending on the participant’s individual needs, community nursing support through Aspire Hub can include:

• Health assessments and tailored care plans
• Wound care and management
• Medication administration and reviews
• Chronic condition and diabetes management
• Continence assessment and support
• Coordination with GPs and other providers

You can explore Aspire Hub’s full range of Community Nursing Services to learn more about the support available.

Who can benefit from community nursing?

Community nursing may be suitable for NDIS participants who require disability-related nursing support as part of their everyday life.

The type and frequency of support will depend on the participant’s individual needs, circumstances and NDIS plan. The NDIS provides further information about what disability-related health supports may be funded.

Meet Angelique, our Community Nurse

Angelique is Aspire Hub’s Community Nurse, providing nursing support to participants in their homes and communities.

She works directly with participants and their wider support networks to understand their needs and provide nursing care tailored to the individual.

What can a community nursing visit involve?

Every participant is different, so community nursing visits are based on the individual and the support they require.

This could involve providing agreed nursing supports, completing health assessments, managing wound care or medication, developing care plans or coordinating with the participant’s other healthcare providers.

Aspire Hub currently provides Community Nursing Services across Ipswich, South Brisbane and the Gold Coast. If support is required outside these areas, participants and Support Coordinators can contact our team to discuss available options.
