A continence assessment in Newcastle is a professional clinical evaluation that helps identify the causes of bladder or bowel control issues. Furthermore, it results in a personalised management plan tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle. A1 Care Group delivers this service via telehealth, so you do not need to leave your home.
Anyone experiencing bladder leakage, frequent urination, bowel incontinence, or difficulty managing continence can benefit. In particular, people living with disability, older adults, NDIS participants, and individuals recovering from surgery or illness are encouraged to seek assessment.
Yes. A1 Care Group is a registered NDIS provider. Consequently, NDIS participants in Newcastle may be able to access continence assessment and management services using their NDIS funding under the Consumables or Capacity Building support categories.
After you book an appointment, a qualified continence advisor connects with you via a secure video call. During this session, they assess your symptoms, review your medical history, and discuss your daily routine. As a result, they develop a comprehensive continence management plan and arrange for any necessary continence products or referrals.
No referral is required. You can contact A1 Care Group directly to book your assessment. However, if your GP has recommended an assessment, you are equally welcome to book with a referral.
