Clinical assessment
A nurse assesses health needs, risks, goals and the clinical instructions required for safe support.
Opening your workspace…
NDIS specialist nursing and participant support
Specialist nursing for NDIS participants, planned around the person.
Access nurse-led assessment, care planning, medication and wound support, high-intensity setup and ongoing clinical care. We confirm the clinical scope, funding route and price before services begin.
Specialist nursing services
Start with the clinical need, not a generic worker booking.

Start with the payment route
The service may be the same. Who approves and receives the invoice changes.
We capture this before booking so a good clinical service is not delayed or rejected because it followed the wrong funding pathway.
You control the budget
Self-managed
You choose providers, agree prices and manage payments from your NDIS funding.
How billing works
Vitalstart invoices you or your authorised nominee. You manage payment and reimbursement.
What we need from you
Tell us your goals, dates and the supports you want to purchase.
Your plan manager pays providers
Plan-managed
You retain provider choice while a registered plan manager handles invoices against your plan.
How billing works
Vitalstart sends the compliant invoice to your nominated plan manager after the service is delivered.
What we need from you
Provide the plan manager details and confirm they can pay the relevant support item.
The NDIA manages payment
NDIA-managed
Supports must fall within your plan and an approved registration group before they can commence.
How billing works
Vitalstart claims through the NDIA payment pathway only where provider registration and service scope are confirmed.
What we need from you
Confirm plan dates, goals, available funding and that Vitalstart is recorded as your provider where required.
Specialist nursing remains central
Clinical needs should not be treated as an ordinary support-worker booking.
Where health needs, high-intensity supports or clinical risk are present, Vitalstart can provide a nurse-led pathway and define what workers may safely do.
- Nurse-led clinical assessment and care planning
- Medication support review and safe administration planning
- Wound, continence and complex health support
- High-intensity support setup and participant-specific instructions
- Worker training, observed competency, delegation and supervision
- Clinical deterioration, incident and hospital-transition review
Before the first service
Four things keep the journey safe and billable.
01
Your goals and service need
What you want to achieve, the support required, preferred timing and any urgency.
02
Your funding route
Self-managed, plan-managed or NDIA-managed, including plan dates and the correct invoice recipient.
03
A signed service agreement
The agreed scope, rates, responsibilities, cancellations, records and billing route before work begins.
04
Relevant clinical information
Shared securely after consent so the nurse can confirm scope, risk, competency and escalation requirements.
Indicative NDIS pricing
The support item, delivery conditions and plan route determine the final rate.
Current public rates are shown where available. Vitalstart confirms the applicable support item, current price limit and service agreement before work starts.
Start with the need. We will confirm the correct NDIS pathway.
The public intake does not ask you to place clinical documents in an open form. Once the request is reviewed, sensitive information is exchanged through the secure participant pathway.
