Community Nursing Forest Lake

Community nursing in Forest Lake is one of the stronger parts of our roster. Our Pallara nursing team visits Forest Lake regularly, and the proximity means we can handle urgent needs quickly, sometimes same day. For NDIS participants and older residents in Forest Lake who need clinical care at home, this is usually the easiest way to get reliable nursing input without the long waits you hit at some of the larger agencies.

What Our Forest Lake Nurses Do

Our full community nursing service details are on the main nursing page. If you are a veteran, see our DVA community nursing page.

Who We Work With

Forest Lake nursing clients include NDIS participants, DVA Gold Card holders, Home Care Package recipients, Support at Home participants, and private-pay clients. Participants often come to us after being told by another agency that there is a long wait or that they do not service the area. We do not have that problem in Forest Lake.

Fast Starts

For non-urgent needs, initial assessment within 3-5 business days. Hospital discharge referrals typically next day. Urgent needs (wound issue, catheter blockage) we try to handle same day.

Coordinating with GPs

Forest Lake has several medical centres and a good network of GPs. We work directly with your GP on care plans, medication lists, and wound management. If you have a care plan from a wound clinic or specialist, we incorporate it.
