Dina didn’t know there was a difference.

She knew her son Marcus had a PEG tube. She knew he needed someone there every morning. She knew three providers had turned her away without explanation.

What she didn’t know was that most NDIS providers in Western Sydney are not registered to support participants with complex clinical needs. And the ones who turn families away — they don’t usually explain why.

Marcus is 19. He lives in Kellyville. He has a neurodegenerative condition that affects his swallowing, his breathing, and his ability to manage his own medication. He needs a support worker who has been specifically trained and authorised to support high-intensity clinical needs.

That is what Registration Group 0104 means. And not every provider has it.

What High Intensity NDIS Support Actually Covers

The NDIS uses the term “high intensity daily personal activities” to describe support for participants whose needs require a worker with clinical training beyond standard support work.

Under Registration Group 0104, Kinship Uniting Services is registered to deliver:

Complex bowel care — manual evacuation, bowel irrigation, management of stomas

Urinary catheter management — in-dwelling catheters, in-out catheters, suprapubic catheters

Subcutaneous injections — including insulin management for participants who cannot self-administer

Complex wound management — wounds requiring dressing changes and ongoing clinical monitoring

Severe dysphagia management — supporting participants with significant swallowing difficulties

PEG feeding (enteral nutrition) — nasogastric and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube management

Ventilator management — supporting participants who rely on mechanical ventilation

Tracheostomy care — suctioning, care and monitoring of tracheostomy sites

Day-to-day medication management — where the participant cannot self-administer

These are not tasks a standard support worker can perform without specific clinical training and oversight. They require workers who have been assessed as competent and a provider who is registered to supervise and quality-assure that work.

Who Needs High Intensity NDIS Support?

If your plan includes supports under Registration Group 0104, your support provider must hold that registration. Participants who typically need high intensity support include people with:

Acquired brain injuries with complex physical care needs. Neurodegenerative conditions affecting swallowing or breathing. Spinal cord injuries requiring catheter management. Conditions requiring enteral feeding. Complex wound care that cannot be managed independently. Medication regimes that require trained administration.

Age is not a factor. Marcus is 19. Some participants are in their 50s and 60s. Some are children. What they share is a need for clinical competence — not just a support worker who shows up and means well.

Why Not Every Provider Can Deliver High Intensity Supports

To hold Registration Group 0104, a provider must demonstrate to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission that they have the governance, training frameworks, clinical supervision pathways, and quality assurance systems to safely deliver complex clinical supports.

The Commission audits this.

When a provider doesn’t hold this registration and still delivers high intensity supports, the risk falls on the participant. A PEG tube that isn’t managed correctly can cause aspiration. A catheter that is not handled with clinical precision can cause a urinary tract infection that lands someone in hospital. These are not hypothetical risks.

Our founder Shazia Begum has 15 years of clinical experience in disability and aged care — including Level 3+ support needs, PEG feeding, medication management, and dementia care with complex behavioural presentations. That experience is embedded in how we train, supervise, and quality-check our workers.

What Families Often Don’t Know

Most families who contact us about high intensity support have already been through multiple providers who said yes and then either couldn’t start, dropped the participant after a few weeks, or weren’t actually registered for the supports in the participant’s plan.

Three things worth checking before you sign any service agreement:

Is the provider registered under Registration Group 0104? (Check at ndiscommission.gov.au — it takes two minutes.)

Are the workers who will deliver the support specifically trained for the participant’s clinical needs — not just for general support work?

Does the provider have a clinical supervisor or clinical lead who oversees high intensity supports, or is it left to individual workers to manage on their own?

These are reasonable questions. A registered provider should answer them clearly.
