Home nursing in Brisbane means a registered nurse comes to you, whether you live in a house in Aspley, a unit in West End, a SIL house in Inala or a family home in Wynnum. Every visit is a clinical visit: the nurse assesses, treats, documents and reports, the same way they would in a clinic, without you having to travel, wait or arrange transport. For participants with limited mobility, fatigue, anxiety or a compromised immune system, nursing care at home is often the only kind of nursing care that is realistic to keep up.
Our home nursing services in Brisbane are delivered under the NDIS to participants whose nursing needs arise from their disability. We are sometimes asked about private nursing care in Brisbane for people who are not NDIS participants, or for needs the NDIS does not fund. Privately funded in-home nursing care is possible and the clinical service is the same; the difference is simply who pays. Speak to us about your situation and we will tell you plainly which pathway applies, without quoting figures on a web page that may be out of date.
If you are new to the scheme, our guide to community nursing in Brisbane explains how the service is arranged and funded, and our article on after-hours NDIS nursing in Brisbane covers evening, overnight and weekend care.
Disability nursing in Brisbane is not the same as aged care nursing or hospital nursing. An NDIS nurse works with people whose health needs are lifelong and connected to their disability, in the context of a plan that has goals, budgets and other providers in it. That means our NDIS nurses in Brisbane spend as much time coordinating with support coordinators, support workers, therapists and GPs as they do on clinical tasks, because a care plan that nobody else knows about is not much use.
As one of the NDIS nursing providers in Brisbane registered for community nursing care and high intensity daily personal activities, MediHealth Connect provides NDIS nursing services across the full range: routine clinical care, training and supervision of support workers who deliver delegated care, and the complex procedures described under high intensity nursing above. Our nurses hold current AHPRA registration and complete participant-specific training and competency assessment before they deliver complex care.

Local nurses who know the area. Our Brisbane team lives and works in Brisbane. They know the traffic patterns, the parking challenges at apartment complexes, and the quickest routes between suburbs. That means they show up on time.
Consistency matters. We assign the same nurse to you wherever possible. Building a relationship with your nurse means better care, they know your history, your preferences, and your normal health baseline. They notice when something changes.
We coordinate with your Brisbane care team. If your GP is in Chermside, your specialist is at the PA Hospital, and your pharmacist is in Sunnybank, we'll communicate with all of them. Good care depends on everyone being on the same page.
Flexible hours for Brisbane lifestyles. Early mornings before work. Afternoons after therapy. Weekends when it suits you. Our scheduling is built around your routine, not ours.
1. Reach out. Contact us directly, or ask your support coordinator to make a referral. We'll have a quick conversation about your needs and NDIS plan.
2. In-home assessment. A registered nurse visits you at your Brisbane home to carry out a clinical assessment. They'll review your health, discuss your goals, and develop a care plan.
3. Care begins. Once the plan is agreed and funding is confirmed, your nurse starts visiting on the schedule that works for you.
The whole process from first call to first nursing visit typically takes about one to two weeks, depending on the urgency of your needs.
NDIS community nursing care in Brisbane is generally funded from your Core budget as a disability-related health support, where the nursing need is connected to your disability. If nursing is already in your plan, you can choose us as your provider and get started straight away.
If nursing isn't currently in your plan but your health needs have changed, you can request a plan review. Your GP will need to provide supporting evidence, and your support coordinator can help you through the process.
Yes. Our nursing team covers Greater Brisbane including north, south, east, west, and inner-city suburbs. If you're in the Brisbane area, we can get a nurse to you.
For standard nursing needs, we can usually begin care within one to two weeks of your initial enquiry. Urgent or high-priority cases may be seen sooner, let us know your situation and we'll do what we can.
Absolutely. We work alongside your GP, specialists, allied health professionals, and support coordinator. Community nursing complements your existing care, it doesn't replace it.
Our services are designed for community settings, your home, supported living, or community locations. We don't provide in-hospital care, but we can step in as soon as you're discharged to continue your recovery at home.
Most of our home nursing in Brisbane is delivered under the NDIS to participants whose nursing needs relate to their disability. Privately funded in-home nursing care is also possible for people who are not participants or for needs the NDIS does not cover. The clinical service is the same; the funding source is different, and we will tell you which applies to you.
Both are registered nurses. An NDIS nurse works in your home within your NDIS plan, coordinates with your support coordinator, support workers and GP, trains support workers to deliver delegated care and focuses on long-term health needs connected to your disability. Our article on how NDIS nursing differs from hospital nursing explains it further.
