Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about NDIS eligibility, registered NDIS providers, plan management, or in-home nursing support? Our Western Sydney team answers the most common questions from NDIS participants, families, and support coordinators below.
-
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government scheme that funds supports and services for eligible people with disability, helping them build skills, independence, and quality of life.
-
You may be eligible if you’re under 65, live in Australia, and have a permanent disability that significantly affects how you manage everyday activities. The NDIA assesses each application individually.
-
Registered providers, like Good Nurse, are audited against the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission’s standards. If your plan is NDIA-managed, you can only use registered providers; plan-managed and self-managed participants can use either.
-
Yes. You choose which providers support you, and you’re free to switch at any time if a provider isn’t the right fit for your needs or goals.
-
These describe how your NDIS funding is paid. A plan manager pays your invoices for you, self-managed participants pay and claim directly, and NDIA-managed funding is paid straight to registered providers such as Good Nurse.
-
We provide supports under Core, Capacity Building, and Capital categories — from everyday personal care and community access to complex clinical nursing and capacity-building health supports
.
-
Our registered nurses deliver wound care, medication management, catheter care, PEG feeding, post-surgical monitoring, and other complex health supports in the comfort of your home.

Not always. Some clinical supports benefit from a referral or care plan from your GP or specialist, but many NDIS nursing services can begin as soon as your plan is in place.
