Yes. Gentle Grid’s registered nurses make home visits across Ballarat and surrounding areas for wound care, medication management, PEG feeding, and more — all funded through your NDIS plan.
No — it is better in many ways. You receive the same clinical standard of care from a qualified nurse, but in your own home, reducing stress and maintaining your independence.
Gentle Grid community nurses in Ballarat can assist with wound assessment and dressing changes, medication administration, catheter care, PEG and nasogastric tube management, continence assessment, diabetic foot care, and health monitoring. We also liaise with your GP and medical specialists to coordinate your care.
A GP referral is not required to access NDIS community nursing through Gentle Grid, though we work closely with GPs and treating teams. You need NDIS funding under Capacity Building or Core Supports to access nursing services. Contact us and we can confirm what is covered in your plan.
Visit frequency depends on your clinical needs and the funding in your NDIS plan. Some participants require daily nursing visits while others need weekly or fortnightly support. Gentle Grid will complete an initial assessment and work with your team to determine the right frequency for your situation.
Community nursing is funded under NDIS Support Category 2 — Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation and Category 8 — Improved Living Arrangements, depending on the clinical need. Complex nursing tasks are funded under Registration Group 0114 — Nursing Care.
All nursing care at Gentle Grid is delivered by AHPRA-registered nurses — not support workers. This means your NDIS plan funds a fully qualified health professional in your home, meaning clinical nursing care that would otherwise require a private out-of-pocket arrangement.
Gentle Grid is one of the few NDIS providers in the Ballarat region with a dedicated community nursing team. Most NDIS providers in regional Victoria refer participants to hospital outpatient clinics for nursing tasks — we bring the nurse to your door, on your schedule.
Our registered nurses provide NDIS community nursing services across all Ballarat suburbs including Wendouree, Sebastopol, Delacombe, Mount Clear, Alfredton, Ballarat East, Ballarat Central, Brown Hill, Buninyong, and Lucas. We also service surrounding regional towns including Creswick, Daylesford, Clunes, and Maryborough by arrangement.
If you have recently been discharged from Ballarat Base Hospital or St John of God Ballarat and need ongoing wound care, medication management, or complex nursing at home, contact Gentle Grid as early as possible — our team will work to arrange nursing visits as promptly as availability allows, typically within a few business days depending on your location and clinical requirements.
Gentle Grid provides a full range of NDIS supports across Ballarat and surrounds.
