Complex clinical care
High Intensity Supports
Complex care delivered by nurses trained, assessed and supervised against the NDIS High Intensity Support Skills Descriptors — so the most demanding parts of your care are in genuinely capable hands.
Some supports carry real clinical risk. The NDIS classifies these as High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, and they can only be delivered by workers who have been specifically trained, assessed as competent, and supervised by an appropriate clinician.
As a registered provider led by a Registered Nurse, Kalgi Care meets those requirements directly. We will not take on a high intensity support until we have a worker with verified competency for your specific need — and we will tell you honestly if that takes time to arrange.

How we keep high intensity care safe
- Every worker is assessed against the relevant NDIS High Intensity Skills Descriptor before they support you
- A Registered Nurse writes and reviews the care plan, and supervises delivery
- Plans are built with your treating team — GP, specialist, speech pathologist or continence nurse
- Emergency and escalation protocols are documented and rehearsed, not improvised
- Competency is re-checked regularly, and whenever your needs change
How this is funded
High intensity supports are generally funded from Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life at high intensity rates, and often alongside Improved Daily Living for the nursing assessment and plan. These supports require a registered provider. Kalgi Care is registered under NDIS provider number 4-LYEVJIZ.
