For NDIS Providers

Clinical nursing expertise that works alongside your team

IHA partners with NDIS providers supporting participants with complex and High Intensity clinical needs, providing participant-specific Registered Nurse clinical expertise around existing support arrangements.

Your team provides the support. IHA provides the clinical nursing layer.

Clinical Support for NDIS Providers

Two ways IHA supports your existing team

For providers whose workers deliver, or are preparing to deliver, a participant's High Intensity Supports.

  • RN participant assessment
  • Clinical planning
  • Participant-specific worker education
  • Individual competency assessment
  • RN sign-off where demonstrated
  • Reassessment
  • Ongoing clinical oversight where required

RN Clinical Support

For providers requiring flexible, participant-specific RN clinical expertise for a single defined clinical need, episodic or as-required input, or ongoing clinical support.

  • Clinical assessment/review
  • Care-plan support
  • Clinical consultation
  • Review following changes/incidents
  • Liaison with treating practitioners
  • Delegation/supervision where appropriate
  • Ongoing clinical oversight

Providers can also refer participants to IHA for Community Nursing & Disability-Related Health Supports or High Intensity Supports, where IHA will directly deliver the participant service.

How We Work With Providers

Respective responsibilities, clearly defined

Your Organisation

  • Employs or engages support workers
  • Delivers day-to-day disability supports
  • Manages rostering and worker allocation
  • Provides ongoing workforce supervision
  • Maintains organisational policies and procedures
  • Manages provider-level incidents and governance responsibilities

IHA

  • Assesses participant-specific clinical requirements
  • Reviews relevant clinical plans and practitioner instructions
  • Provides RN clinical assessment
  • Develops/reviews clinical care plans where appropriate
  • Provides participant-specific worker clinical education
  • Assesses individual worker knowledge and practical skills
  • Documents participant-specific competency outcomes
  • Provides RN sign-off where competency is demonstrated
  • Establishes RN delegation/supervision where clinically appropriate
  • Provides ongoing participant-specific clinical review and consultation where engaged

IHA complements your existing service rather than replacing it. The provider remains responsible for its workforce, rostering, supervision, organisational policies, incident management and provider-level governance responsibilities. IHA remains responsible for the Registered Nurse clinical services it agrees to provide.

Ways to Work With IHA

Flexible ways to work with IHA

Single Participant / Defined Clinical Need

For an RN assessment, clinical plan review/development, High Intensity implementation, worker competency assessment or another defined participant-specific clinical requirement.

Multi-Participant Clinical Support

For providers supporting several participants with complex or High Intensity needs who require structured RN clinical input across the participant group.

Ongoing Clinical Nursing Partnership

Ongoing or as-required participant-specific RN support across named participants, including clinical review, consultation, reassessment and clinical oversight.

Access the clinical nursing expertise your participants require without needing to establish a full internal nursing function.

Getting Started

How an IHA clinical engagement works

1. Discuss Your Requirements

We discuss the participant or participants, current clinical requirements and the RN support your organisation is seeking.

2. Scope the Clinical Engagement

IHA determines the appropriate participant-specific RN service and engagement structure.

3. Participant Referral & Consent

Relevant participant information, consent/authority and available clinical documentation are obtained.

4. RN Clinical Review

The Registered Nurse reviews the participant's clinical requirements, risks, current plans, practitioner instructions, equipment and support environment.

5. Deliver the Agreed Clinical Services

Depending on the engagement, this may include direct nursing care, care planning, participant-specific worker clinical education, competency assessment, RN sign-off, delegation/supervision and/or ongoing clinical support.

6. Ongoing Review Where Required

IHA can remain involved where ongoing participant-specific clinical review, reassessment or oversight is required.

Discuss RN Clinical Support

Tell us about the participant or participants and the RN clinical requirement, and IHA will discuss scope before the engagement commences.
