Our Clinical Approach to Continence Care

The Role of Our Continence Nurse Advisor
Our Continence Nurse Advisors are registered nurses with specialised post-graduate qualifications in continence management. They are experts in assessing, diagnosing, and creating management plans for bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Their role is to be your trusted partner, providing clinical guidance with compassion and respect.
What to Expect During Your In-Home Assessment
Your assessment will be a private, one-on-one consultation in the comfort of your own home. Here’s how we ensure the process is thorough and stress-free:
- A Respectful Conversation: We’ll discuss your health history, symptoms, diet, and lifestyle to get a complete picture of your situation.
- Goal Setting: We listen to what you want to achieve. Is it confidence to go out, better sleep, or simpler daily management?
- Product & Strategy Review: We’ll assess any current products or strategies you’re using to see what’s working and what isn’t.
- Creating Your Plan: Based on the assessment, your Nurse Advisor will develop a comprehensive Continence Care Plan. This is a detailed document outlining recommended products, toileting schedules, and other strategies to improve management.
“The Assessment Was a Turning Point.”
“For months, we were just guessing, buying different products and hoping for the best. It was stressful and upsetting for my mum. Having the Continence Nurse visit was a turning point. She was so professional and kind, and for the first time, we had a real plan. Knowing what to do and what products to use has given my mum her dignity back.” - Robert T., {suburb}
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the continence assessment invasive or embarrassing? Absolutely not. The assessment is a structured conversation and observation-based process. There are no invasive procedures. Our Nurse Advisors are highly skilled at creating a comfortable and professional environment where you can feel at ease discussing sensitive information. Your dignity is our highest priority.
How is a clinical assessment different from just buying products? Store-bought products are a one-size-fits-all solution to a complex problem. A clinical assessment identifies the type and cause of incontinence, allowing for a tailored plan. This often leads to using fewer, more effective products, improving skin health, and significantly increasing your confidence and comfort.
Is the assessment covered by NDIS or my Home Care Package? Yes. A professional continence assessment is widely recognised as a crucial healthcare need. It is typically funded under Improved Daily Living (Category 15) in your NDIS plan or is a standard service within your Home Care Package budget. We can help you confirm your funding and manage the process.
