New Urinary Catheter Support for NDIS Support Workers
Urinary catheter support is a specialised High Intensity Daily Personal Activity under the NDIS Practice Standards that involves high-risk tasks requiring advanced skills, knowledge and training.

Learn how to provide safe, person-centred and effective support, understand when and how to escalate concerns, and build confidence in monitoring urinary health and responding to problems early to protect participants’ dignity, comfort and wellbeing.
Note: This module is not a substitute for formal training or a competency assessment, which should be delivered by an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
