High Intensity Support

Skilled, clinically informed support for people with complex health needs, delivered in your home and community by workers trained to get it right.

Confident support for complex health needs

High intensity support covers the daily activities that need extra training and clinical oversight to do safely: complex bowel care, enteral feeding, tracheostomy and ventilation support, severe dysphagia, and complex wound care. These are not tasks to hand to just anyone, and we treat them with the seriousness they deserve.

Our high intensity workers are trained against the NDIS High Intensity Support Skills Descriptors and supervised by our clinical lead. We build a clear plan with you, your family, and your health team, so the people in your home know your needs, your routine, and exactly what to do if something changes.

  • Complex bowel care
  • Enteral (PEG) feeding and management
  • Tracheostomy and ventilation support
  • Severe dysphagia and mealtime management
  • Complex wound and pressure care
  • Subcutaneous injections and diabetes management

Why families trust us with complex care

When the stakes are high, the details matter. Here is how we keep your support safe and steady.

Trained and supervised

Every worker is trained to the relevant skills descriptor and backed by clinical supervision, with competency checked regularly.

A consistent team

You see familiar faces who know your care plan, not a rotating roster of strangers. Consistency is what keeps high intensity support safe.

On call when it counts

Complex needs do not keep office hours. Our coordination team is reachable, and your plan includes clear steps for the unexpected.
