Private Nursing
Private Nursing Services: Professional Care You Can Trust
What Is Private Nursing?
Private nursing Services means clinical nursing visits you arrange and pay for directly, without needing a referral, a government funding package, or an approval process first. It is the fastest way to get a qualified nurse into your home, and it suits a wide range of situations:
- You need care to start this week, not after a weeks-long assessment process
- You are waiting on NDIS, DVA, or Home Care Package funding to be approved
- You want a short-term clinical service, like post-surgery wound checks
- You would simply rather pay directly for the flexibility and privacy it gives you
Unlike funded programs that require eligibility checks and paperwork before a single visit happens, private nursing care at home can usually begin within days of your first phone call.
What's Included in Our Private Nursing Services
- Wound care nursing, dressing changes, and pressure injury management
- Medication management, administration, and Webster pack oversight
- Catheter care and continence support
- Post-surgery nursing care and recovery monitoring
- Chronic disease management, including diabetes monitoring
- Palliative and end of life nursing support
- Health assessments and general clinical monitoring
Personal and elderly support, where needed
- Elderly nursing care at home, including mobility and daily living support
- Disability nursing services for adults and children
- Showering, toileting, and grooming assistance
Every visit is documented and, with your consent, communicated back to your GP so your regular medical care stays joined up even outside a funded program.
How Private Nursing Compares to Funded Home Care
Many people don’t realise private nursing exists alongside DVA, NDIS, and Home Care Package options, or how differently each one works. Here’s the comparison:

Set by your funded plan or package
Private care is also a smart bridge option. If you’re waiting on an NDIS plan review or a Home Care Package to be assigned, private nursing keeps clinical support in place in the meantime, so your health doesn’t wait on paperwork.
Who Chooses Private Nursing Services
- Self-funded retirees and families who want choice and speed without navigating government systems
- People between funding approvals, bridging the gap while an NDIS or Home Care Package application is processed
- Post-surgical patients who need short-term wound checks or medication support after discharge
- Families of elderly parents wanting a private nurse at home without the wait for aged care assessment
- People with disability whose needs fall outside current NDIS plan funding
- Anyone wanting a second opinion or extra visit alongside their existing funded care
