Nurse Practitioners Services for NDIS Providers
We are enhancing NDIS Primary Healthcare by integrating Nurse Practitioners and Clinical Nurse Professionals.
We are dedicated to offering supplementary assistance to Participants within the NDIS sector, empowering them to manage their healthcare requirements effectively. Our unwavering Mission revolves around delivering enhanced collaborative clinical care and fostering improved access to health services for those individuals who face challenges in reaching suitable healthcare provisions under the umbrella of NDIS services.
Our team of Nurse Practitioners collaborates seamlessly with a diverse and skilled multidisciplinary group and participants’ families to offer amplified accessibility to primary care while supporting individuals in achieving their healthcare objectives. Our services complement the existing healthcare team and are designed to augment rather than replace the current provisions.
Proficient and seasoned
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) represent a cohort of exceptionally experienced and proficient registered nurses, adept at undertaking patient diagnoses, administering treatments, prescribing medications, ordering critical laboratory tests and X-Rays, and adeptly referring patients to specialised medical practitioners when necessary.
Extensive 5,000+ hours of hands-on experience
A minimum of 5,000 hours of specialised experience and a Bachelor of Nursing and Master of Nursing are requirements for NPs. NPs are approved by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Board and registered health professionals with AHPRA.
Diverse disciplines
Primary care, elderly care, oncology, palliative care, rural and distant care, wound treatment, cardiology, and mental health are just a few of the disciplines available to NPs.
Eligible for Medicare reimbursement
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) allows NPs to prescribe medications, and NP consultations are eligible for a Medicare rebate (MBS). GPs, specialists, and allied health professionals collaborate closely with NPs, who are highly respected in the health sector.
