High Intensity Care Explained.
What “high intensity NDIS supports” actually means, which clinical tasks they cover, who can deliver them, and how they’re funded under the NDIS.
What High Intensity Daily Personal Activities means
High Intensity Daily Personal Activities (NDIS Class 0104) covers daily-living tasks that require specific clinical training to deliver safely. Most NDIS providers are not registered for it. Only providers whose registration specifically lists the relevant high-intensity support types can deliver them.
The supports Carevally is registered for
Under our NDIS registration:
- Complex bowel care — including digital stimulation and manual evacuation.
- Enteral feeding and management — Naso-Gastric Tube, Jejunum, Duodenum (PEG and PEJ feeding).
- Urinary catheter management — in-dwelling urinary catheter, in-out catheter, suprapubic catheter.
- Subcutaneous injections — insulin, anticoagulants, supportive medications.
- Complex wound management — dressings, pressure injury management, post-surgical care.
We are also approved to support day-to-day medication management, disposal of waste/infectious/hazardous substances, and the implementation of restrictive practices under approved Behaviour Support Plans.
Worker training requirements
Only workers who have completed training assessed against the NDIS Commission’s High Intensity Support Skills Descriptors, demonstrated competency, and undergo annual review can deliver these supports. At Carevally, training is supervised by our registered nurses.
Funding mechanism
High intensity supports are funded under Core Supports — Daily Activities, at the high-intensity hourly rate published in the annual NDIS Pricing Arrangements. The increased rate reflects worker training and the additional clinical oversight required.
How to access
Document the clinical need in your NDIS plan with evidence from your treating medical team. Choose a provider registered for the specific supports you need. The provider then builds those supports into your roster of care.
