Navigating Funding for High-Intensity Care

Securing funding for advanced clinical needs requires a strategic approach. Whether you are navigating the NDIS disability framework or the aged care Support at Home (SAH) program, My Help Services helps you map out your allocations to guarantee absolute continuity of care.

Securing NDIS High-Intensity Funding

Under the NDIS, specialized care is classified as High Intensity Daily Personal Activities (HIDPA). This funding sits inside your Core Supports budget under the Assistance with Daily Life category. Because these services carry higher price limits to cover complex worker competencies and registered nurse oversight, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) requires explicit justification.

To successfully secure or increase this funding in your NDIS plan, you must gather:

A Detailed Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA): Typically compiled by an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist, outlining why standard support workers cannot safely deliver your care.

Clinical Evidence and Medical Reports: Documentation from your GP, treating specialists, or hospital discharge teams detailing your specific medical needs (e.g., ventilation schedules, PEG feeding protocols).

Risk Mitigation Proof: Statements demonstrating that high-intensity support workers are essential to prevent hospitalization and maintain skin or respiratory safety.

Accessing the Support at Home (SAH) Program

The Australian Government's Support at Home program delivers targeted funding to help older Victorians remain independent. For high-needs individuals, the program offers 8 distinct funding classifications, scaling up to Level 8 which provides up to $78,106 annually for intensive, complex care delivered in quarterly allocations.

Crucial elements of the SAH high-intensity framework include:

My Aged Care Assessment: You must request an independent aged care needs assessment through My Aged Care. The assessor evaluates your medical complexity to assign you to the correct classification level (Levels 5 through 8 cover high to complex needs).

Fully Funded Clinical Care: Under SAH rules, all clinical care components—such as nursing care plans, wound management, and allied health oversight—are fully government-funded, meaning you pay zero out-of-pocket co-contributions for these elements.

Personal Care Fee Exemptions: Essential complex daily care, including showering, mobility transfers, and bowel care, is heavily prioritized. The government ensures that your high-intensity clinical needs do not get drained by everyday management fees.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Who trains your support workers for specific medical tasks like PEG feeding or tracheostomy care?

Our support workers undergo specific, person-centered competency training. This training is delivered by qualified registered nurses or relevant clinical specialists who sign off on the worker’s practical ability to handle your exact medical equipment and care protocols safely.

Can you provide 24/7 or overnight high-intensity care?

Yes, absolutely. We can provide continuous 24-hour care, including active overnight care or sleepover care, depending on your NDIS allocations, Support at Home quarterly budget, and clinical risk assessments.

How do you handle medical emergencies or sudden plan adjustments?

Every complex care client has a detailed, proactive emergency management protocol embedded into their care plan. Our support staff are trained to recognize early signs of medical deterioration, follow your doctor’s explicit instructions, and contact emergency services instantly if required.
