What is NDIS Continence Assessment Support?

A Continence Assessment is a comprehensive checkup conducted by qualified healthcare professionals or nurses to determine an individual’s continence issues and needs. The assessment helps identify the severity of incontinence, understand its impact on daily life, and create a tailored support plan.

Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), participants with disabilities who face continence challenges may be eligible for funding. The assessment process ensures that individuals have access to the right continence care and products, medical support, and assistance from trained healthcare providers. The NDIS funds the necessary aid, including products and support staff, for eligible participants through registered providers.

During a Continence Assessment, a qualified nurse or healthcare professional will:

Assess Medical History, including health conditions, prescriptions, and lifestyle aspects that may contribute to continence issues.

Assess Bladder and Bowel Function – Identify incontinence issues, severity, urgency, frequency, and any related intricacies.

Recommend Continence Products – Suggest suitable products to manage the condition effectively.

Develop a Personalised Care Plan – Create a tailored plan to help improve continence management.

Provide Education and Guidance, including tips to manage continence effectively to enhance independence and well-being.

Consumer directed care

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.

Our team prioritises your comfort, dignity, well-being, and respect at all times while delivering continence-related support. If you or a loved one needs a professional Continence Assessment under the NDIS, contact NHCH today to book an on-site evaluation.
