Who Can Access In-Home Nursing Care Services in Melbourne?

A lot of people are not sure where to start when it comes to getting in-home support. These questions come up constantly and are worth answering clearly.

Do I Need a Doctors Referral to Access In-Home Nursing Support?

No, you do not need a referral to contact us. You can reach out directly, or a family member, carer, GP, or hospital discharge planner can make contact on your behalf. If your support will be funded through the NDIS, you will need an active NDIS plan that includes the relevant support categories, but the referral process itself is straightforward and our team will guide you through it. For people looking for safe at home support Melbourne-wide, we make the entry point as simple as possible.

How Is In-Home Care Funded Through the NDIS?

The NDIS can fund a wide range of in-home supports depending on your plan and goals. This includes daily personal care, nursing supports, community access, and domestic assistance. Funding is typically allocated under core supports or capacity building, depending on what is in your plan. Our team is experienced in working with NDIS participants and can help you understand exactly what your plan covers before any support begins. If you are not yet on the NDIS, we can help you explore whether you are eligible and what other funding pathways may apply. In-home nursing care services Melbourne participants access through Libra Care are fully aligned with NDIS support categories.

What Is the Difference Between a Caregiver and a Nurse?

This is one of the most common questions we get. A support worker or caregiver helps with daily living tasks – personal care, domestic assistance, community participation, and social support. A nurse provides clinical care, which includes wound management, medication administration, health monitoring, and post-hospital recovery support. At Libra Care, we offer both. Depending on your needs, your care plan may include one or both, and we coordinate between them to make sure nothing falls through the gaps. For those needing safe at home support Melbourne families and individuals can count on across both levels of care, we have you covered.
