Nursing services in Melbourne, clinical care at home, by registered nurses.

Our registered and enrolled nurses provide wound and pressure care, medication management, continence, catheter and stoma care, complex clinical supports (such as PEG feeding, diabetes management and subcutaneous injections), health monitoring, and care planning — plus training and supervision of your support workers, all in the comfort of your home.

Yes. Clinical nursing care is delivered by appropriately registered and enrolled nurses, under clear clinical governance, supervision and oversight — never by unqualified staff.

Personal care (daily living) is hands-on help with everyday tasks like showering and dressing. Nursing care is clinical — delivered by nurses for health needs such as wounds, medication management and complex care. Many people have both, and our nurses often train and supervise the support workers who provide personal care.

Absolutely. Our nurses act as the clinical thread between everyone involved in your health — your GP, specialists, hospital and support team — so your care is coordinated and nothing falls through the gaps.

Nursing supports can be funded from your Core Supports or Capacity Building budget where they are reasonable and necessary due to your disability. We help you understand your funding and build the evidence so your plan reflects your real needs.

Yes — this is a core part of what our nurses do. Where support workers deliver clinical tasks (such as PEG feeding or bowel care), a registered nurse provides the care plan, training, competency sign-off and ongoing supervision, so the care is delivered safely and to standard.

Our nurses follow clear clinical protocols and escalate appropriately — including to your GP, specialists or emergency services (000) when needed. Nursing care at home complements, and does not replace, emergency medical services; in a life-threatening emergency you should always call 000 first.

Gencare is based in the west of Melbourne and supports participants across Victoria, with our footprint expanding into Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and regional areas. Reach out and we will confirm what is available in your area.

Nursing care is for participants whose needs are genuinely clinical — the sort of care that legally requires a registered nurse. Funding usually comes from Core Supports, and an assessment by one of our nurses establishes what your care actually requires before we put a plan in place. If your needs turn out to be better met by a support worker, we will tell you that.

You do not need a GP referral the way you would for a Medicare service — NDIS nursing is arranged through your plan. What we do first is a nursing assessment to establish exactly what your care requires, and we work from any existing care plan your doctors have in place, keeping them informed throughout.

Yes. Coming home from hospital with new clinical needs is one of the most common reasons people call us, and it is usually time-sensitive, so we move quickly — a nursing assessment, a care plan and the right nurse organised so you can leave hospital safely rather than stay longer than you need to.
