Looking for a continence assessment in St Marys, NSW? A1 Care Group's NDIS-registered continence nurses assess you by telehealth, wherever you are in St Marys. There's no clinic visit and no travel involved. We work with support coordinators, plan managers and families across St Marys every week. Because every assessment happens over video, waiting on a local specialist is no longer the barrier it used to be.
A continence assessment is a structured, clinical conversation with a qualified Continence Nurse Consultant. It looks at bladder and bowel function, current products and routines, and how incontinence affects daily life. Sleep, skin health and confidence all come into it too. The nurse then writes a report linking what they found to the supports NDIS funding can pay for. So nothing gets lost in translation between a diagnosis and a plan.
Continence assessments help NDIS participants of all ages. That includes children on the autism spectrum working through toilet training, adults living with a spinal cord injury or neurological condition, and older participants whose needs have changed over time. For example, a St Marys family recently reached out after their son's school raised concerns about toileting accidents. A single telehealth assessment gave them a diagnosis-linked report. Their support coordinator used it to secure funding for products and ongoing nursing support within weeks.
Call us, email a referral, or ask your support coordinator to send one through. We'll confirm your NDIS plan details and book a time that suits you.

Continence needs shift over time. So we check in and adjust your plan as circumstances change, rather than leaving you with a one-off document.
In St Marys, every continence assessment happens over telehealth. That means no clinic visit and no travel. There's also no need to fit an appointment around peak-hour traffic on the M4 or the Western Line. That's not a lesser option: our nurses run the same structured, nurse-led assessment by video as they would in person. So a family near Queen Street, out toward Jordan Springs, or anywhere else in the suburb gets the same standard of care. And if your circumstances change and you move outside the area, we can keep supporting you just as easily.
Under Core and Capacity Building supports, NDIS funding can cover the assessment itself, ongoing continence products, and the nursing support needed to act on your plan. Take an older St Marys participant managing incontinence after a stroke. Their assessment identified scheduled toileting, specific product recommendations and short-term nursing visits. Their plan manager could fund all of it, because the report spelled out the clinical justification clearly.
If you're unsure what your plan allows, our nurses can talk you through it first. The NDIS website has further detail on how these supports are categorised.
St Marys has grown a long way from its origins as South Creek. The name comes from the heritage-listed St Mary Magdalene Anglican Church, which still stands in the area today. It's now a busy Western Sydney hub, split by the railway line into an industrial north and a residential south. Queen Street's shops and street-art murals sit at the heart of that southern side. Wherever you are in St Marys, from Queen Street to Jordan Springs, we assess you the same way over telehealth. We also support the surrounding suburbs, including Jordan Springs, Werrington and St Clair.
Alongside St Marys itself, our continence nurses regularly support the suburbs below. You'll find more detail on our Penrith continence assessment page.
