Frequently Asked Questions
A nursing assessment is a comprehensive review of your health, clinical risks, care needs and current supports completed by a registered nurse.
We assess children, adults and older Australians, including NDIS participants, Support at Home clients and private fees paying clients.
Assessments are generally completed in your home or another agreed location. We service metropolitan, regional and country communities across South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
The time required depends on the complexity of your health and nursing needs. Our team can provide more information after reviewing your referral.
Relevant information may include your medical history, medication list, hospital discharge summary, existing care plans and reports from your GP or specialists.
Your nurse prepares the relevant clinical report, nursing care plan and recommendations. We then discuss the findings and appropriate next steps with you or your authorised representative.
The assessment can document your nursing needs and provide clinical recommendations. However, Heal at Home cannot guarantee that the NDIS will approve or fund a requested support.
