Nursing and allied health care
Nursing and allied health care
We provide in-home nursing services to help eligible over-65s to remain comfortable in their own homes for as long as possible. Our friendly team of staff nurses visit you at home to assess your needs and provide nursing and personal care. They ensure you receive care at home, without having to frequently visit your GP or hospital for treatment.
We can also connect older people with allied health supports to keep them supported and active in their community.
Who we help
We provide in-home nursing services to people who are:
- Aged 65 and over
- Living in their own homes
- Living in the Brisbane North PHN catchment area
- Either receiving a Home Care Package, or have obtained a Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) nursing or occupational therapy referral code through MyAgedCare.
