Ambition Health Services In Your Area

Registered nurses at Ambition can handle wound care, injections, catheter changes, medication administration, chronic-disease monitoring, palliative symptom control, and post-operative assessments under Australian nursing regulations.

A GP or hospital discharge summary is usually required so the nurse has clinical orders; the referral also helps you qualify for government funding through My Aged Care or a Home Care Package.

If you are 65 + (50 + for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples) and an ACAT assessment finds you need clinical support at home, funding can come via Home Care Package levels 1–4 or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme.

Rates vary by provider and region but generally range from $70–$120 per hour for a registered nurse; travel fees may apply for weekend or after-hours care when no subsidy is in place.

With a discharge referral, most providers can arrange a nurse within 24–72 hours, well before formal Home Care Package funding is activated; interim visits are billed privately until subsidies begin.

Yes. Nurses perform daily or weekly checks, educate on lifestyle changes, adjust wound dressings, monitor oxygen levels, and liaise with your GP to update care plans—reducing hospital readmissions.

They comply with the Aged Care Quality Standards: hand hygiene, PPE, sterile dressing kits, and safe sharps disposal, plus COVID-19 vaccination and symptom screening before each visit.

Absolutely. Your Home Care Package funding is portable; request a new referral code from My Aged Care, give notice to your current provider, and sign a new agreement—usually within 56 days—to avoid service gaps.
