What is NDIS Diabetes Management Support?
NDIS provides funding for eligible participants suffering from diabetes that is directly related to their disabilities. If you or your loved ones need NDIS funding for diabetes or want someone to create a diabetes care plan for your needs, please contact NHCH today.
If a registered participant gets diabetes due to their disability, they can access funding under the NDIS to seek treatment from a professional doctor or diabetes nurse and get a personalised diabetes care plan. However, you must understand that the NDIS can only fund support if your diabetes condition is directly related to your disability. Similarly, for participants who need support to manage their diabetes due to their disability, the NDIS can offer conditional funding.
The NDIS may fund the following supports related to Diabetes Management:
- Funding a qualified nurse to provide medical support, including creating a personalised diabetes management plan based on your specific condition.
- Training people who support you, including your family or support workers, in managing your diabetes.
- Funding a professional support worker to monitor your condition, including tracking glucose levels and administering insulin or other medication.
NHCH provides all these support services through NDIS funding. Contact us to learn more.
NDIS Diabetes Management Services We Provide
Whether you already have an NDIS plan or need a fresh plan that includes support for diabetes, we are here to help throughout the process. Based on your funding eligibility, we can provide a trained diabetes nurse or a support worker to help you.
Our nurse can create a diabetes care plan tailored to your needs and preferences. A support worker can assist you with routine tasks, such as measuring your glucose levels and administering insulin and other medication.
Additionally, we can also perform NDIS assessments for new participants. This involves your thorough medical and health assessment to determine your eligibility for funding.
As a registered NDIS services provider, NHCH has qualified nurses, doctors, and support workers to help you manage your condition effectively and independently, ensuring your disability doesn’t hamper your quality of life.
We also provide NDIS diabetes support training, which involves training your support providers, which can be a family member or a professional nurse, to efficiently manage your condition and needs.

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 NDIS-registered support providers are just one call away from improving your lifestyle and health through high-quality support.
