Why this matters
Negative pressure wound therapy at home
NPWT can dramatically improve healing in deep, exuding, or non-healing wounds — but it usually means hospital or clinic attendance. Our nurses apply and manage NPWT in your own home: sealing and changing the dressing, monitoring exudate and canister output, troubleshooting leaks and alarms, and reporting progress to your specialist so therapy is stepped down at the right time.
Who it's for
Who this
People with pressure injuries, venous or arterial leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, post-surgical or dehisced wounds, skin tears, or other chronic and complex wounds. Well suited to people who find regular GP or clinic visits difficult, or who need a consistent nurse to manage healing over weeks or months.

How it works
Simple, clear, and
Assess the wound
Our nurse assesses the wound bed, exudate, surrounding skin, pain, and contributing factors, and agrees a treatment plan with you and your GP or specialist.
Treat and dress
We deliver dressing changes or NPWT at the frequency the wound needs, using products selected to support healing and protect the surrounding skin.
Track healing
We measure and photograph progress at every visit, adjust the plan as the wound changes, and escalate early if healing stalls.
Funding options
NDIS funded or privately funded
NDIS participants
Wound care is typically funded as community nursing under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living. Dressings, NPWT consumables, and related supplies are usually funded under Core Supports — Consumables.
Privately funded
Privately funded wound care and NPWT is available for people without an NDIS plan, including short courses of care after hospital discharge.
Common questions
Questions people
Do you supply the NPWT pump?
We work with the pump supplied through your hospital, specialist, or a hire arrangement, and can help coordinate hire if one isn't already in place.
How often will a nurse visit?
It depends on the wound. Most complex wounds need two to three visits a week initially, reducing as healing progresses.
