People Support Possibilities
At Simaru True Care, we provide clinically led delegation of care services to support the safe delivery of disability-related healthcare activities in home and community settings.
Our experienced Registered Nurses work collaboratively with NDIS participants, disability support providers and support workers to ensure healthcare tasks are appropriately assessed, planned and supported through professional nursing guidance.
Through clinical assessments, individualised care plans, practical training, competency assessments and ongoing clinical oversight, we help support workers deliver safe, consistent and person-centred care.
What is delegation of care?
Delegation of care is a clinical process in which a Registered Nurse determines whether a specific healthcare task can be safely undertaken by an appropriately trained and competent worker.
The nurse considers the participant's health condition, complexity of care, potential risks and the worker's capabilities before deciding whether delegation is appropriate.
Delegation arrangements must include clear instructions, appropriate supervision and ongoing review.
