Before you sign with anyone
For participants living with complex medical conditions, having access to skilled, compassionate nursing care can make the difference between being stuck in a clinical facility and living comfortably at home surrounded by family. InLife's Nursing and Complex Care services are led by registered nurses (RNs) and enrolled nurses (ENs) who specialise in disability and community-based healthcare. We bring hospital-grade clinical expertise into the home, enabling participants with even the most complex needs to live as independently as possible.
Our nursing team is experienced in managing a wide range of complex health needs. This includes ventilator and respiratory support such as tracheostomy care, suctioning, and non-invasive ventilation management. We provide enteral feeding support for participants with PEG or nasogastric tubes, including feeding administration, stoma site care, and nutrition monitoring. Catheter management, bowel care programs, wound assessment and management, diabetic care, and seizure management are all part of our clinical service offering.
Every participant receiving complex care has an individualised care plan developed in collaboration with their GP, specialist physicians, and allied health team. Our RNs conduct thorough clinical assessments, develop nursing care plans, and provide ongoing clinical oversight of support worker activities. This means that even when a support worker is providing day-to-day care, a registered nurse is overseeing the clinical components to ensure safety, consistency, and best-practice standards are maintained at all times.
InLife also provides clinical training and delegation to support workers who deliver care under nursing direction. This includes training in subcutaneous injections, epilepsy management, oxygen therapy, and other clinical tasks that can be safely delegated under the right governance framework. Our nurse-led training programs follow the NDIS Practice Standards and are designed to upskill our workforce so that participants receive confident, capable care around the clock.
We understand that families of participants with complex needs carry a significant load. Our nursing services are designed to provide not only clinical excellence but also peace of mind. Knowing that a qualified nurse is involved in your loved one's care — reviewing plans, monitoring health indicators, responding to changes, and coordinating with medical teams — allows families to focus on being family rather than being carers.
Whether your needs involve high-intensity daily nursing, periodic clinical reviews, or training for your support team, InLife's nursing and complex care services are here to ensure that clinical safety and quality of life go hand in hand.
InLife’s south-east Melbourne team delivers nursing & complex care to participants in Berwick, Clyde North, Cranbourne, Pakenham, Narre Warren, Officer, Beaconsfield, Hampton Park, Endeavour Hills, and Dandenong. We also service Greater Melbourne, the Geelong region and the Gold Coast. Multilingual support workers available in English, Farsi, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi — so participants receive care from someone who can actually communicate with their family.
Every support line
Who this is for
Nursing and Complex Care services are for NDIS participants with high-intensity medical and health support needs that require clinical oversight. This includes people living with tracheostomies, ventilator dependence, enteral feeding requirements, complex wound care needs, uncontrolled epilepsy, and other conditions that demand registered nurse involvement. If your NDIS plan includes High Intensity Daily Personal Activities or Specialist Disability Accommodation clinical supports, our nursing team can help you live safely at home.
Participants with complex care needs often access these complementary services:
