Nurse-led support services for children with complex care needs

We understand it can be difficult leaving your child in the care of someone who is not you and outside your family circle, especially when your child has a disability. That’s why our paediatric in-home nursing care is flexible and tailored to your child and family’s needs, with the level of disability support decided by you.

Start your journey with us

First, you need to make sure we’re the right organisation for you and your child.

We understand that navigating your child’s care can be overwhelming, so we start by asking the right questions. We’ll gather information about what you need from the level of care, timeframes, documentation, and funding. These discussions will help us understand how we can best support your child and help you ensure we’re the right fit for you.

A Paediatric Clinical Nurse will work with you through the process to clarify your goals, ensure your child’s needs are met, and work with your team. We take the time to listen to your concerns and define your child’s care goals.

This stage is all about building a strong foundation for care, training, and your team. Together, we’ll dive into your child’s medical needs, goals, and what they love to do. We’ll also talk about what success looks like for both you and your child. With your preferences and ideas in mind, we’ll create a plan that makes you feel heard and understood.

We’ll build a team around your child’s routine and care needs. From training to recruitment, our focus is on finding compassionate individuals with the right skills and personalities, so you can feel at ease and confident in your home.

We know that this journey can be a lot to navigate, but you’re not alone! You’ll have a dedicated clinical nurse and a friendly engagement contact who will check in with you regularly. They’re always here to help and support you and your child every step of the way.

Nursing-led complex care

Every aspect of your child’s care, from delivery to training and service design, has been reviewed by our nursing team and clinical governing body. This ensures that all aspects of care are evidence-based, medically sound, and of the highest standard.

Our in-house paediatrics team specialise in caring for medically complex children. They must ensure their knowledge remains current through hospital-level training, renew their Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) Registration yearly, and complete 20 CPD hours annually.
