What is NDIS Continence Care?
Incontinence happens when you can’t control your bladder or bowel movements. It can be challenging to manage incontinence and bowel and bladder issues at any age. And that’s why Compass Care Group provides continence nursing services in Perth to adults and children to help them effectively manage bladder and bowel function, promoting better health and improved daily living.
The NDIS continence care from Compass Care Group includes both products such as pads, catheters, and bed protectors, as well as services like professional assessments, training for support workers, and direct assistance with continence management to maintain hygiene and confidence.
Along with that, we at Compass Care Group provide NDIS continence care for children, focusing on comfort, dignity, and confidence. Our team of continence nurses in Perth will create personalised care plans after knowing each child’s unique needs while also helping them manage bladder and bowel health effectively. With an empathetic approach and close coordination with families, Compass Care Group ensures that children receive the right support, education, and equipment to promote independence and improve their quality of life.
NDIS Community Nurse Services Examples
Along with continence assessments and care planning, our qualified nurses also support participants with related health needs to ensure safe and comfortable daily living.

Our nurses can help with medication administration, supervision, and monitoring, including PRN medications. We also assist with medication charts and coordinate with GPs and pharmacies when required.

We provide basic wound care, dressing changes, and regular skin checks. Our nurses also help prevent pressure injuries and manage skin issues related to continence concerns.
