What is a Continence Assessment in Hurstbridge, VIC?

A continence assessment is a structured clinical review of bladder and bowel health. During the appointment, a continence nurse looks at the causes behind your symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves. As a result, the recommendations you receive address the whole picture.
Your nurse will discuss your health history, medications, fluid intake, diet, and toileting patterns. In addition, they will consider mobility, cognition, and your home environment. Every question serves one purpose: building a plan that works in your daily life.
Afterwards, you receive a personalised written continence management plan. This document outlines practical strategies, recommends suitable continence products, and supports funding applications where needed. Above all, it gives you and your support network a clear roadmap.

Why Choose A1 Care Group for Continence Assessment in Hurstbridge?

Families across Melbourne's north-east trust A1 Care Group for a reason. In fact, they trust us for several. Here is what sets our service apart.

Registered NDIS Provider

A1 Care Group is a fully registered NDIS provider. Therefore, you can access our assessments whether your plan is agency-managed, plan-managed, or self-managed. Additionally, our team understands NDIS paperwork inside out, so the admin never falls on you.

Experienced Continence Nurses

Qualified continence nurses conduct every assessment. Moreover, our clinicians complete ongoing professional development to stay current with best-practice guidelines. You receive advice grounded in evidence, delivered in plain language.

Telehealth Available Australia-Wide

Distance should never block good care. For this reason, we offer comprehensive telehealth assessments alongside home visits. A telehealth appointment covers the same ground and produces the same detailed written plan. All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera.

Detailed Written Management Plans

Every assessment concludes with a personalised written report. This plan guides you, your carers, and your other health professionals. Furthermore, it provides strong supporting evidence for NDIS plan reviews and continence product funding.

Trusted by the Local Community

Our clients consistently rate us five stars on Google. They highlight the warmth, thoroughness, and professionalism of our nurses. Consequently, you can book with confidence, knowing others in your community already have.

Person-Centred, Culturally Sensitive Care

Continence is a deeply personal topic. Because of this, we work hard to create a safe, non-judgemental space for every client. We welcome people of all backgrounds, and we communicate clearly and kindly at every step.

How the Assessment Process Works

We keep the process simple from start to finish. Here is what to expect when you book a continence assessment in Hurstbridge with our team.

Step 1 — Get in Touch

Call or email our friendly team. We will answer your questions, check your funding options, and find an appointment time that suits you. In most cases, you will not need a referral.

Step 2 — Booking Confirmation

Next, we confirm your date and time, and we send through any pre-assessment information. As a result, your consultation runs smoothly from the first minute.

Step 3 — Your Assessment

Your continence nurse completes a thorough assessment, either at your home or via telehealth. Appointments typically run between 45 and 90 minutes. Throughout the session, your nurse listens carefully and answers your questions as they arise.

Step 4 — Your Written Plan

Within a few business days, you receive your personalised continence management plan. It sets out practical strategies, product recommendations, and any referral suggestions.

Step 5 — Ongoing Support

Our support does not stop at the report. If your needs change, we can review your plan and conduct follow-up assessments. Likewise, we remain available to answer questions while you put your plan into action.

NDIS Funding for Continence Assessments in Hurstbridge

If you are an NDIS participant in Hurstbridge, your plan may fund a continence assessment. Typically, this sits under the Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living category. However, funding varies between plans, so it pays to check before booking. Our team can help you confirm this quickly.
Beyond the assessment itself, a formal written report strengthens your case for ongoing supports. For example, it can back applications for continence products through your NDIS Consumables budget. Similarly, it can support applications to the Continence Aids Payment Scheme (CAPS).
Not an NDIS participant? No problem. We also welcome private clients, and we will explain fees clearly before you commit to anything.

Local Care for the Hurstbridge Community

Hurstbridge sits at the end of its namesake railway line, roughly 34 kilometres north-east of Melbourne's CBD. The township forms part of the Shire of Nillumbik and hosts the much-loved annual Wattle Festival. Yet, like many semi-rural communities, residents often travel long distances for specialist health services.
That is exactly why our service model suits Hurstbridge so well. Our nurses come to you, so there is no need to battle traffic on Main Road or drive into the city. Alternatively, telehealth brings the entire assessment into your living room.
Moreover, we understand the needs of families across the Diamond Valley and Nillumbik area. From young NDIS participants to older residents on acreage properties, we adapt our care to local life, not the other way around.
