Safe, respectful, and clinically-informed support for people with high intensity needs.
At Best Care Services, our disability support workers are trained by clinical nurses to deliver high intensity supports under the NDIS.

Our Support Workers Are Trained & Qualified in High Intensity Care
What is High Intensity Support?
High intensity supports involve daily personal care tasks that require greater skill and training due to the risks involved. These supports are funded under the NDIS when a participant has complex health needs requiring support workers trained to manage risk.
The NDIS defines several types of high intensity supports, including:
Enteral feeding and PEG tube support
Tracheostomy care
Urinary catheter support
Subcutaneous injections
Complex bowel care
Ventilator support
Severe dysphagia and mealtime management
Wound care involving pressure injury prevention or dressing changes
Helping Prevent Deterioration Starts With What We Notice
Our support workers don’t just follow plans — they observe, report, and act on subtle changes that may signal risk. A slight increase in swelling, a change in odour, or a participant who suddenly avoids being touched — these small signs can mean the difference between early intervention and preventable escalation.
That’s why our team is trained to think critically, communicate clearly with clinicians, and document everything in line with NDIS expectations. It’s not just about following instructions — it’s about making informed observations that help keep participants safe and reduce avoidable hospital visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our support workers deliver a wide range of high intensity supports, including PEG feeding, catheter and bowel care, stoma management, tracheostomy care, complex wound support, subcutaneous injections (e.g. insulin), and seizure response. Each service is matched to the participant’s clinical needs and daily living goals.
We take the time to understand each participant’s support requirements, preferences, and medical conditions before assigning a worker. We match based on experience, skill level, personality, and availability to ensure consistent, confident care that builds trust and continuity.
High intensity care involves higher clinical risk. Tasks like managing enteral feeding tubes, wound care, or tracheostomy suctioning require precision, confidence, and deeper knowledge of health protocols. Unlike general care, these supports must follow strict clinical procedures — and that’s what our team is trained and experienced to do.
Yes. Support workers trained in subcutaneous injections (such as insulin) can administer them as part of a structured medication plan. They follow correct dosing, hygiene, and documentation protocols, always working in line with the participant’s care plan and any health professional guidance.
It depends on the participant’s needs. A shift could include PEG feeding at set times, wound dressing changes, mobility assistance, bowel or catheter care, and close health monitoring. Workers also support with personal care, meals, and social participation — all while ensuring clinical tasks are performed safely and on schedule.
Support workers are trained to identify warning signs, follow escalation protocols, and contact emergency services if needed. While they don’t make clinical decisions, they play a critical frontline role in observing changes and responding immediately to keep the participant safe.
We train our team in respectful, person-centred care. Whether assisting with bowel care, dressing wounds, or providing intimate support, our workers maintain professionalism, protect privacy, and always prioritise the comfort and dignity of the participant.
We offer both. Some participants need long-term high intensity support as part of their daily routine, while others may need short-term care following surgery or a health event. We adapt to what you need and can scale support up or down as situations change.
We maintain open communication with families and carers. Support workers document tasks, changes, and incidents after each shift. We can also schedule regular updates with case managers or family members to ensure everyone is informed and aligned.
All workers undergo formal training and competency assessments aligned with NDIS Module 1 standards. This ensures every support worker understands risk protocols, personal care procedures, infection control, and participant rights. It’s not just a tick-box exercise — it’s a foundation for safe, ethical care.
