- Personal Bowel Care Assistance – Our trained support workers assist participants with bowel care routines in a safe, hygienic, and respectful manner. This includes toileting, continence care, cleaning, preparation, and post-care hygiene, helping participants feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is complex bowel care considered high-intensity support under the NDIS?
Complex bowel care can be considered a high-intensity daily personal activity under NDIS guidance when it involves specialised bowel care tasks, non-routine interventions, monitoring, or support that must follow specific procedures.
Can bowel care be provided at home?
Yes. Many participants receive bowel care support at home so they can maintain privacy, comfort, and routine in a familiar environment.
What does bowel care support include?
Support may include personal hygiene assistance, toileting support, continence care, bowel routine assistance, monitoring, documentation, and following an existing bowel care plan.
Do support workers follow a care plan?
Where a bowel care plan is available, support should be delivered according to that plan and any relevant healthcare professional guidance.
Is this service only for people with severe conditions?
Not always. The level of support depends on the participant’s individual needs, risks, care plan, and NDIS goals.
