Our Services

Promise care’s nurses will work closely with your doctor and assist with the coordination of any scheduled medical and other allied health professionals appointments. Your nurse can also advise and support on more complex issues such as: Continence assessment and management. Catheter care, changes and management.

If you are assessed as being eligible to receive nursing support through your NDIS plan, speak to Promise care team leader about the services you require, how you’d like them delivered and by whom. If you live in a regional or remote part of Australia with limited medical facilities, a home nursing service may be even more important and necessary.

To help you decide what services you need, a registered nurse can carry out a full  health assessment. Once you have been assessed they will develop a care plan for you in conjunction with you and your family. This plan will detail the services that have been identified as necessary  and the days/ times you prefer them to be delivered. This plan will be reviewed every six months or so, or as your needs change.
