Community Nursing & Home Care:

Compassionate Care in Your Home

At Australian Allied, we believe everyone deserves to live with dignity and comfort. Our dedicated community nursing services provide expert, compassionate care tailored to your unique needs.

What is Community Nursing?

Community nursing, also known as district nursing or home nursing, involves registered and enrolled nurses providing healthcare services outside of a hospital setting. This allows clients to receive essential medical care, support, and education in the comfort and privacy of their own homes.

Our highly skilled nurses work closely with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals to develop a personalised care plan that supports your recovery, manages chronic conditions, and promotes overall well-being.

Community Nursing for Aged Care

For our senior clients, Australian Allied provides compassionate community nursing that supports healthy aging and enables continued independent living. We understand the unique challenges faced by older Australians and are committed to delivering care that respects their autonomy and enhances their well-being.

Accessing Services for Aged Care:

My Aged Care: We are an approved provider under My Aged Care. You can apply for an assessment through the My Aged Care website or by calling 1800 200 422.
Home Care Packages (HCPs): If you have an approved Home Care Package, you can direct your funds towards our community nursing services.
Private Funding: For those who prefer to self-fund their care, we offer flexible private arrangements tailored to your needs.

Community Nursing for TAC Clients

If you've been injured in a transport accident in Victoria, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) may cover the cost of your community nursing services. Australian Allied is an approved TAC provider, and we are here to support your recovery journey.

How TAC Funding Works for Community Nursing:

Initial 90 Days: In most cases, for the first 90 days after your accident, you do not need prior approval from the TAC for community nursing services if recommended by your doctor or health professional and it's for your accident injuries. Just provide us with your TAC claim number.
After 90 Days: For ongoing nursing care beyond 90 days, or if there's been a gap in your treatment, TAC approval may be required. We can assist you and your treating team with this process.
Direct Billing or Reimbursement: The TAC can directly pay Australian Allied for approved services, or you can pay us and seek reimbursement from the TAC.
Comprehensive Support: Our nurses are experienced in managing transport accident injuries, providing care such as wound management, medication support, and assistance with rehabilitation goals.

We recommend contacting the TAC directly (1300 654 329 or visit www.tac.vic.gov.au) to confirm your eligibility and understanding of their funding guidelines. We are also happy to discuss your individual circumstances and help you navigate the process.
