What is Complex Wound Management Support?
Patients suffering from complex wounds or pressure injuries might need special support with the management and care of their disabilities. This support may be provided by a trained healthcare provider, nurse or an NDIS-registered carer (depending on eligibility).
This type of support includes helping patients with the day-to-day management of wounds and injuries with a focus on preventing further damage. In addition, support givers also help with the use of equipment like lymphoedema machines and assistive circulatory devices that may be provided under the NDIS to help manage participants’ conditions.
As an NDIS-registered provider, NHCH offers personal care and medical support services for NDIS participants, including those requiring complex wound management. Contact us today to find out how we can help you.
Complex Wound Management Under the NDIS: What’s Covered?
Complex wound management is covered in the NDIS Practice Standards under the High-Intensity Daily Personal Activities Module. NDIS offers funding to eligible participants requiring support with the management of complex wounds, ensuring they receive appropriate support from trained and qualified workers.
Complex wound care support under the NDIS covers the following:
- Prevention and management of wounds and pressure injuries
- Supporting NDIS participants by providing access to required equipment like lymphoedema machines and assistive circulatory devices.
Registered NDIS providers with trained staff and nurses who meet the NDIS quality indicators can only provide such support and services. If you’re an NDIS participant looking for Complex Wound Management Support, get in touch with us to check your eligibility for the funding and connect you with the best support provider.

The Regional Assessment Service will work with you to develop a personalised home support plan tailored directly to your needs. Assessors send a ‘referral for service’ to appropriate providers, such as Newcastle and Hunter Community Health, to let them know you are a new client and would like to engage their services. The provider will contact you to make further arrangements.
Alternatively, if you would like to visit or speak to a service provide to decide if they are the right fit for you, a ‘referral code’ can be sent which allows them to view your client record. The provider will review your identified needs and determine how they can assist. You then make the final decision on whether or not to engage their services.
In the event there are no services available at the time, you will be placed on a wait-list with those who have the highest level of need offered services first. Once your provider arrangements are in place, you will start receiving the assistance you need to ensure you maintain your independence.
