Clinics GRP Nursing pathway
Nursing support for authorised medication administration, adherence, injections and clinically indicated observations, with communication to the relevant GP, pharmacist or provider.
Care is subject to referral information, clinical fit, address, required equipment, accepted scope and nurse availability. This is not an emergency or 24-hour response service.
Who it may suit
What nursing can include
The first visit confirms what can be safely delivered, what needs monitoring and who must be informed if the clinical picture changes.
Confirm the medication information, authorisation, current plan and responsible prescriber or pharmacist.
Review the person’s practical medication-support needs and any agreed clinical observations.
Document the nursing plan, review points and actions if a concern or possible adverse effect is identified.
Expected review points
Scope and boundaries
Call Triple Zero (000) for a life-threatening situation. Sudden or severe deterioration, heavy bleeding, acute obstruction, chest pain, severe breathlessness or new stroke-like symptoms require urgent medical assessment rather than a routine website enquiry.
Nurse allocation
Intake confirms the registration, competence and authorised scope required before allocating a nurse.
Communication
With consent, relevant findings and escalation can be communicated to family, GPs, hospitals, providers and other clinicians.
Funding and access
If eligible nursing is included in an approved Support at Home plan, a 0% participant contribution applies to that clinical service. The service still uses available programme funding and remains subject to the service agreement, registered-provider arrangements and accepted nursing scope.
Assessment-led nursing support for acute and chronic wounds, skin tears, pressure injuries and postoperative wound needs, with documented review and escalation when the clinical picture changes.

View pathwayA structured older-person nursing assessment to identify current clinical priorities, risks, required follow-up, communication needs and an appropriate review plan.
View pathwayYes, where the requested support is authorised, clinically appropriate and within nursing scope. Intake confirms the medication information, supplies and care-plan requirements first.
Potentially. The injection must be ordered or authorised, the required medicine and equipment must be available, and the allocated nurse must have the appropriate scope and competence.
No. The pathway supports nursing medication tasks, observation and communication. Formal medication reconciliation or prescribing remains with the appropriately authorised medical or pharmacy professional.
