Living with a complex bowel condition can be challenging as it can impact your daily routines, comfort, and overall well-being. For individuals with significant support needs, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers specialised care through high-intensity support services.

With NDIS complex bowel care, participants receive expert assistance tailored to their unique needs, helping them live with dignity, confidence, and independence.

What is Complex Bowel Care?

Complex bowel care involves specialised support for individuals with significant bowel management needs. This may include assistance with manual evacuation, stoma care, and managing conditions such as chronic constipation, incontinence, or bowel obstructions.

Given the sensitive nature of bowel health, compassionate and professional care is essential to maintaining both physical well-being and personal dignity.

Complex Bowel Care in the NDIS Practice Standards

Under the NDIS Practice Standards, complex bowel care is classified as a high-intensity support service. This means that only skilled and trained providers can deliver this type of care, following strict guidelines to ensure safety and effectiveness.

By setting these high standards, the NDIS ensures that individuals with complex support needs receive reliable, high-quality care that minimises health risks and enhances their daily lives.

Who Requires Complex Bowel Care?

Individuals who experience severe or ongoing bowel management challenges may require complex bowel care. This includes people with:

• Neurological conditions such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral palsy
• Chronic bowel conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Stomas or colostomies requiring regular maintenance
• Limited mobility, affecting their ability to manage toileting and bowel health independently

For these individuals, receiving high-intensity support through the NDIS ensures that their condition is effectively managed, reducing discomfort and complications while improving their overall well-being.
