Northern Rivers, NSW
Continence nurse
Registered continence nurses visiting homes across the Northern Rivers — Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Pottsville, Ocean Shores, Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay — for NDIS and privately funded continence assessments, catheter changes, wound care and nurse health checks.
Nursing care that comes to you in
Access to a continence nurse in the Northern Rivers often means long waits or a drive north across the border. Our registered nurses travel to you instead, covering the coastal strip from Tweed Heads and Kingscliff down through Cabarita, Pottsville and Ocean Shores to Brunswick Heads, Byron Bay and the surrounding hinterland.
We visit people living at home with family, in supported independent living, in retirement villages and in aged care, as well as people managing a long-term catheter, recovering from surgery or caring for a complex wound.
Every assessment finishes with a written clinical report and specific, costed product recommendations you can take straight to a plan review. Where a physical examination isn't required, telehealth appointments are usually available sooner.
