Nursing Services

Families often come to us when something changes. Maybe there’s a new diagnosis. Maybe a wound needs ongoing attention. Sometimes it’s after a hospital stay, or a condition that needs regular checks. They don’t want to move somewhere unfamiliar or put everything on hold. They want their loved one to stay where they feel secure. That’s where we step in.

Support Network’s nurses are ready to work around you. We bring clinical care without disrupting the day. Our nurses are trained to manage complex health needs, but they’re also kind. They take time. They respect how you live and what you value. Whether it’s daily care or just a visit now and then, we make it fit with how you already live.

For many people, this type of care is included in their plan whether that’s NDIS or a Home Care Package. There’s no pressure to figure it all out alone. We take time to walk you through it, help you use what you already have, and make the process feel clear and manageable. You’re not being placed into a system. You’re getting support that fits into your world.

This is how it should be. Nursing that supports your health without turning your life upside down.

Let’s explore how our nurses can support you.

What Our Nurses Can Help You With

There’s no fixed list that fits everyone. People need different things, at different times. Some families reach out when something new starts. Others when something changes. Our nurses step in gently, doing the work that needs trained hands and a calm presence. Here’s what that looks like in real homes.

When Medical Care Is Part of Daily Life

Some health needs can’t wait for a clinic visit. They need regular, quiet attention right at home.

• Checking blood pressure and overall health
• Wound care that needs cleaning and redressing
• Giving medication properly and watching for reactions
• Managing diabetes day by day, including insulin help
• Catheter care, stoma care, and continence support

These tasks are handled with care, not rushed, not made a big deal. The nurse comes in, does what needs doing, and fits right into the day.

After Hospital or Surgery

When someone returns home after treatment, things don’t always fall into place on their own. That’s when steady nursing makes a difference.

• Helping the person get moving safely again
• Keeping wounds clean and healing on track
• Making sure pain is under control
• Following up on what the hospital started

Families often feel unsure during this time. The nurse helps turn those days into something calmer and more manageable.

Ongoing Help That Brings Stability

Sometimes care is about keeping things steady, not solving one big problem. It’s about rhythm.

• Supporting with fluids, bowel care, or skin checks
• Noticing if someone looks tired or off-colour
• Being the person who sees what others might miss
• Light guidance and reassurance

It’s gentle support, offered in the background, without disruption.

When Comfort Is What Matters Most

There are stages in life where care becomes less about treatment and more about peace. Nurses bring softness during those times.

• Easing discomfort, carefully and with attention
• Creating a calm space around the person
• Helping families know what to expect
• Being present, not distant

They don’t rush. They don’t overwhelm. They carry the care in small ways that matter more than words.

Support for Families, Too

Sometimes a nurse is there to teach. To stay longer. To make sure the carer in the home feels ready.

• Showing how to manage care tasks safely
• Giving tips without making anyone feel small
• Allowing family members to breathe, even just a little

The nurse doesn’t just treat the person. They hold space for the family as well.

Who We Support Through Nursing Care

People come to us at different points in life. Some already have a plan in place. Others are just starting to look for help. The need could be small, or it could be part of something more complex. Nursing care at home isn’t one-size-fits-all. It changes based on the person, the family, and what’s going on right now.

People Living with Disability

There are people managing daily health needs that go hand in hand with disability support. That could mean help with medication, or a wound that takes more time to heal. Sometimes it’s continence care. Sometimes it’s something harder to describe just needing someone trained nearby who understands how to work quietly and gently, without changing too much.

Older Adults Needing Ongoing Health Support

As people grow older, the body needs more care. Blood pressure checks, medication routines, wound dressings, comfort measures. These are things that keep someone steady at home. Our nurses support older adults so they can stay where they’re most comfortable with family nearby and daily life moving at its own pace.

After Surgery or Hospital Stay

Coming home after surgery often brings uncertainty. The person might feel weak, unsure, unsteady. A nurse steps in to make recovery smoother. Not just with dressings and medicine, but with presence. It’s about feeling safe again, without having to ask for help at every turn.

Complex Care Needs

There are situations where care is layered. Someone might need several things at once: clinical support, comfort, monitoring, help with movement, or help with feeding. Families often feel stretched. A nurse helps carry some of that, with training and calm.

Children and Families

Some families reach out for their children. That could be after a hospital stay, or for something ongoing. Our nurses work gently, supporting not just the child but the whole home. Parents feel a little lighter when someone skilled is there.

Support can happen once a week. Or every morning. Or just now and then. There’s no fixed rule. We fit in where we’re needed and make sure the care works for the person, not the other way around.

You’re Not Alone We Support Families Too

Looking after someone day after day takes more than effort. It takes heart. It takes energy. And sometimes, it takes a little more than one person can carry on their own. That’s why we don’t just care for the person we’re here for the family too.

There are times when someone close becomes unwell, and the family steps in without thinking twice. Meals get made. Medicines are tracked. Appointments are remembered. And before long, life starts to feel heavy. The days stretch. The nights feel short. That’s when a small break can change everything.

Our nurses offer support that gives families space to rest. Whether it’s for a few hours, a weekend, or something regular, this time allows caregivers to catch their breath, step outside, or simply sit still for a while. While the family rests, the nurse takes over gently keeping things safe, calm, and steady at home.

For some families, it’s not just rest that’s needed, it's guidance. How to manage a dressing. How to assist with movement. How to give medication the right way. Our nurses take time to show you how. No rush. No judgment. Just care, explained clearly, in your home, where it makes sense.

And sometimes, it’s not about learning a task. It’s about feeling less alone. Knowing someone else sees what’s going on. Someone who understands how tiring it all feels. Families don’t need to do this all by themselves. They shouldn’t feel like they have to. That’s where we come in.

Support at home works best when everyone in the house feels supported. We help make that possible not just for the person needing care, but for the ones standing beside them too.

How to Get Nursing Support with Support Network

Starting care doesn’t need to feel like a big task. Most people begin with a quick chat. That’s usually enough to set things in motion. Here’s how it unfolds: nothing complex, nothing rushed.

• Reach out when it feels right. A message, a call, whatever works. Just tell us what’s been happening and what kind of help you’re hoping for.
• We arrange a simple conversation. Over the phone or in person. We’ll ask a few things. You’ll tell us what life looks like right now. No pressure. Just a calm talk.
• We plan care around your situation. Maybe it’s nursing support a few times a week. Maybe it’s daily. Maybe it’s just for now. We shape it together, without fixed rules.
• We find a nurse who fits. Someone with the right experience who works quietly and respects the pace of your home. If a support worker is already part of your care, we’ll keep everyone working together.
• Care begins. Often within days. Sometimes even sooner. It all depends on what’s needed and where you’re based.

Understanding Your Funding Options

There’s more than one way to access nursing care at home. Some people already have funding in place. Others are still figuring it out. Either way, we help you make sense of it without turning it into a process full of rules or paperwork. You don’t need to know it all, we explain as we go, and shape the care around what you’re working with.

If You’re on the NDIS

If you have an NDIS plan, and it’s either self-managed or plan-managed, you may be able to use it for nursing support. It depends on your goals, your plan, and what kind of care is needed. Some people already have it included. Others just need to check with their coordinator. Once we understand your plan, we help you see what’s possible. We’ve done it many times. We know the system and how to work within it without making things harder for you.

If You’re on a Home Care Package

People who receive a Home Care Package (HCP) can often use their funding for nursing visits. This could be for help with wound care, medication, health checks, anything that fits within the care needs listed in your plan. If you’re not sure how it works, or if you’re still waiting for your package to start, we can talk through your options and help make a path forward.

If You’re Paying Privately

Some families prefer to organise care without waiting for funding. That might be just for now, or longer term. We keep the options open, explain costs simply, and give you space to decide what feels right. There’s no pressure either way.

Whatever your situation, you’re not expected to figure it all out before speaking with us. We guide you through it step by step.

Why More Families Trust Support Network

Families come to us when things feel uncertain. When care needs change. When days feel full and stretched. They want someone who understands how to step in without taking over. That’s where we fit in.

We focus on getting care right, not fast, not loud, not by the book. Just right. Every nurse we send is skilled, gentle, and steady. They come in with purpose, stay present, and become part of the rhythm of the home. People feel it when care is real and that’s what we bring.

You’re not treated like a case file here. You’re seen. The pace, the tone, the timing it’s all shaped around the way your life moves.

Here’s what families say they value most:

• Nurses who take their time and pay attention
• Support that fits in without disruption
• Clear, kind guidance with NDIS or HCP plans
• Fast responses when care is needed soon
• A calm presence that brings steadiness into the home
• The feeling that someone truly cares

That’s what we aim for every home, every visit.
