Support at Home (SAH) • For Providers
Subcontracted Nursing, Clinical Governance & Oversight
Partner with NovaCare Nursing as an associated provider to strengthen quality, reduce risk, and deliver expert clinical care.
What we deliver for SAH providers
Under Support at Home, clients generally engage through a single provider who manages the budget and service agreement. Providers can engage specialist clinicians to deliver services and strengthen governance. NovaCare Nursing provides expert clinical delivery and governance inputs designed to stand up to scrutiny.
- Basic nursing delivery: wounds & dressings, catheter/continence care, injections, medication support, IV/cannulation, post-op care, palliative symptom support and escalation.
- Clinical governance: documentation standards, escalation pathways, risk flags, quality improvement actions and decision support.
- Clinical oversight: complex cohort review, stabilisation, multidisciplinary coordination and defensible care planning.
- Clinical education: in-service training, task-based competency checks, supervision support.
- Clinical auditing: targeted audits (wounds, continence, medications, incidents), corrective actions and evidence trails.
Pricing (SAH provider contracting)
Our SAH direct nursing rate is clearly set out on the Fees page, including weekday non-standard hours, weekends and public holidays.
Operational note: Nursing draws from the same pooled SAH budget as other supports. Clients do not pay a participant co-contribution for clinical supports (such as nursing), but service costs still draw down the pooled budget.

Support at Home (SAH)SAH generally operates on a single-provider model (one provider holds the client agreement and manages the budget). Nursing is funded from the client’s overall pooled SAH budget. Clients can ask their provider to engage NovaCare Nursing as an associated provider for nursing services (subject to contracting and governance requirements).
