For participants requiring both severe dysphagia management and complex bowel care, our combined package offers unified RN oversight, streamlined documentation, and reduced clinical fragmentation.
Participants with complex neurological conditions often require both dysphagia management AND bowel care support. When these services are delivered by separate providers, risks increase.
Delivering both severe dysphagia and complex bowel care requires significant clinical infrastructure that most providers lack:
We've specifically developed integrated systems to address this gap in Melbourne' s NDIS market, providing combined high-intensity support under unified RN governance.

Combined care is ideal for participants with complex needs requiring coordinated clinical support across multiple areas.
Participants with SCI often experience both dysphagia and neurogenic bowel
Progressive conditions affecting multiple body systems
Reduces coordination burden on SIL governance teams
Those requiring coordinated high-intensity clinical support
| Aspect | Two Providers (Fragmented) | Prime Care Access (Unified) |
|---|---|---|
| Coordination | Multiple phone calls, emails | One RN contact point |
| Assessment | Two separate assessments (cost & time) | One comprehensive assessment |
| Protocols | Different RNs, different systems | One integrated system |
| Training | Support workers trained separately | Cohesive training on both protocols |
| Documentation | Separate records systems | One unified record |
| Updates | Potential gaps in communication | Coordinated protocol reviews |
| Cost | May duplicate funding for assessments | One assessment, better value |
| Safety | Potential gaps between services | Integrated risk management |
Combined dysphagia and bowel care is funded under multiple NDIS categories depending on your individual plan:
Combined care often results in more efficient funding use because:
Discuss with your Support Coordinator to optimize funding allocation for combined care.
Combined care means one RN team, one governance framework, and coordinated protocols. You get better communication, fewer gaps, and clearer accountability—not just two disconnected services.
Pricing depends on your individual NDIS plan. Because we handle both services under one RN, you often get better value and more efficient funding use with fewer duplicate costs.
We provide one RN-led team that integrates directly with your SIL governance, reducing coordination burden and improving consistency. Your SIL team works with one provider, not two.
Our clinical team can discuss how combined dysphagia and bowel care governance could benefit your participant or SIL environment.
