Complex Nursing Supports – Expert Care for Complex Health Needs
At Q1 Care, we provide specialist nursing supports for participants who require advanced healthcare management as part of their NDIS plan. Our qualified and experienced nurses work alongside trained Disability Support Workers to deliver safe, consistent, and personalised care in the privacy of your home or within community settings.
We support participants across Logan, Brisbane South, Ipswich, Redlands, and the Gold Coast, helping them maintain health, independence, and dignity while living with complex care needs.

Why We Combine Nursing Supports with Trained Disability Support Workers
At Q1 Care we know that complex health conditions require more than occasional nursing visits; they need consistent, skilled care every day. That is why our Registered Nurses work closely with our trained Disability Support Workers to deliver a complete, coordinated service.
- Skilled procedures with professional oversight – Complex support such as tracheostomy care, ventilation management, enteral feeding, and catheter care must be delivered exactly as prescribed. Our nurses create and supervise your care plan, while Support Workers follow it with precision.
- Prevention of complications – Health risks like pressure injuries, wound infections, and blockages can escalate quickly. Our Support Workers are trained to recognise early warning signs and immediately alert your nurse.
- Maintaining your independence – While our nurses focus on clinical care, our Support Workers assist with daily living activities to keep you independent, comfortable, and active.
- Consistent care between nursing visits – Our Support Workers ensure nothing is missed and your health is continuously supported.
- A truly holistic approach – With nursing expertise and daily personalised support, your health, NDIS goals, and quality of life are fully supported.
