Private Nursing (All in-home Nursing/Respite needs) 

If you or a loved one are looking for quality care at home, in-home private nursing can assist with a wide range of healthcare needs. Receiving quality care and medical support is vital for ongoing health and wellbeing, whether as on an “as needed basis” or on an ongoing basis. AH Nursing & Health Services is flexible to whatever your medical and health needs. Having a qualified Registered Nurse attend to you at home is a great source of comfort for the entire family.

 

Every caregiver requires and deserves respite for selfcare and to refresh themselves for their ongoing caring duties, especially if your family member requires medical support.

A good place to start is to consider what type of nursing assistance you need. 

For example, are you after:

Next, consider how payments will be made for a private home nurse. 

Home nursing services are included under several funding models, including:

  • Government’s Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and Home Care Packages. To receive these, you must be 65 years or older (or 50 years or older for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people) and pass an eligibility assessment.

  • Anyone can also pay for a home nurse through fee-for-service, which may be claimable through your health fund.

In-home nursing shifts can:

  • At any time during the day or evening

  • Overnight

  • Weekends
