High Intensity Personal Care in Craigieburn
High intensity care only works when the nurse who trained your worker can actually get to you. Our registered nurses work out of the Craigieburn office, so competency checks, plan reviews and the awkward mid-shift phone call are all quick here.
High intensity supports are the daily personal activities the NDIS Commission treats as higher risk — tube and PEG feeding, catheter and stoma care, complex bowel care, ventilation, tracheostomy, severe dysphagia, and epilepsy needing emergency medication. The rule that separates them from ordinary personal care is that a worker cannot simply be assigned to them. They have to be trained against the High Intensity Support Skills Descriptors and assessed as competent for the person they are supporting, rather than for the task in general.

One of our registered nurses, and they train them on your care specifically rather than on a generic version of the task. The nurse signs the worker off as competent for you, then checks again as your needs change. That is what the High Intensity Support Skills Descriptors require, and it is looked at in audit.
More than one worker is trained on your care from the start, for exactly this reason. High intensity support that depends on one person is not a plan, it is a risk. Because the nurse who did the training works from the Craigieburn office, they can attend in person when that is what the situation needs.
