High Intensity Supports NDIS: What Participants and Families Need to Know

Supporting Complex Health Needs Through the NDIS

Some NDIS participants require more specialised support to safely manage complex health needs and daily care requirements. High Intensity Supports are designed to help participants receive appropriate assistance from trained support workers and qualified nurses while maintaining their independence and wellbeing. These supports can play an important role in managing health conditions, reducing risks, and improving quality of life for participants living with more complex care needs. Participants seeking NDIS Community Nursing in South Hedland may also access support that complements High Intensity Supports and ongoing health management.
