Accessing Neurocare
If you, or someone you know, has a neurological condition or symptom and would like to access our neurological nursing services, depending on your circumstances, you can do this via one of two ways:
- As a Department of Health funded Neurocare nursing services client (e.g. over 65 years or ineligible for NDIS), or
- As a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) client.
Both options are provided at no cost to you.
The Neurological Council of WA is a registered NDIS provider of community nursing care. We provide the same high-quality practice standards to all our clients.
Neurocare is funded by the Department of Health and this service is available at no cost to you, we simply require a referral.
We take referrals from:
- General practitioners
- Health professionals
- Community service workers
- Regional assessment agencies
- Families and friends of potential clients
- Primary carers
- You can also make a self referral.
To make a referral, please fill out our online referral form. Alternatively, you can download a copy of the referral form (PDF) or contact our friendly reception on 6457 7533.
Are you eligible for NDIS funding? You may choose the Neurological Council to provide your community neurological nursing services. If so, the level of service will be negotiated with you and clearly stated in your Service Agreement with us.
For more information or to chat to one of our neurological nurses about your individual circumstances, please phone 1800 645 771 or email hello@ncwa.com.au.
