Understanding Complex Care Needs in the NDIS

Complex care needs result in requiring higher-level support for health, behavioural, or developmental issues. For adults in this category, most daily tasks require specialised assistance.

Examples of complex care needs include:

  • Medical conditions requiring constant supervision.

  • Behavioural challenges that are challenging to manage.

  • Dual diagnoses; intellectual and physical disabilities.

NDIS Complex Support Needs Pathway Explained

The NDIS has a special program under the Complex Support Needs Pathway, which is reserved for those who need services beyond basic care. This pathway provides targeted support and leads to access to specialised services, such as respite care.

 

This pathway cuts through red tape to give people with complex needs what they need: compassionate and skilled care, like we provide at CARE WITH US.
