If you're looking for a continence assessment in Seven Hills, NSW, chances are it's for someone who matters to you. It might be a child, a parent, or an NDIS participant you support. What you need is an NDIS continence assessment in Seven Hills that leads to a plan fitting their life, not a generic checklist. A1 Care Group's continence nurses run a telehealth continence assessment that covers bladder and bowel function, then recommend the right products and strategies. We then prepare an NDIS-ready report, delivered over telehealth, so there's no travel and no waiting room involved. We work alongside support coordinators, plan managers and families right across Blacktown and greater Western Sydney. That means booking with us slots into the supports a participant already has, rather than starting from scratch.

A continence assessment is a structured, one-on-one review of how someone's bladder and bowel are functioning day to day. Our nurses look at frequency, urgency, skin integrity, mobility and cognition. That's because all of these can affect continence in different ways. From there, we work through product trials so nothing is prescribed on guesswork. We then build a management plan tailored to the person's routine. That could mean a school day, a shared home, or supported independent living." / "Consequently, the report you walk away with isn't just a summary. It's written so a support coordinator or plan manager can use it directly to support a funding request.
Continence assessments suit a wider range of people than most families expect. We regularly see children on the autism spectrum who are working through toilet training well past the age it "usually" happens. We also work with adults living with acquired brain injury or spinal cord injury. Older NDIS participants managing incontinence alongside another primary disability come to us too. So do support coordinators who simply need clinical documentation to back a request they've already flagged with the NDIA.
For example, one family we've supported had a nine-year-old on the spectrum who'd been buying nappies out of pocket for years. They assumed continence products weren't something the NDIS would fund for a child his age. A single assessment identified sensory and communication barriers behind the toileting delay. The resulting report gave his support coordinator exactly what was needed to add consumables and an OT-linked toileting program to his plan.
Continence supports usually sit across a couple of different NDIS budget categories, depending on what's actually needed. Consumables, such as pads, catheters or continence aids, generally come from Core supports. Meanwhile, the clinical assessment itself and any related therapy typically sit under Capacity Building. Because every plan is different, we don't try to guess what yours covers. Instead, we explain what our report supports. We also liaise directly with your plan manager or support coordinator, so the funding conversation happens with the right people.
This is often where a proper assessment changes things. One older participant we assessed in the Blacktown area had been paying for premium continence pads herself for over a year. She'd never had a formal assessment linking that cost back to her plan.
Seven Hills has grown into one of Western Sydney's genuinely multicultural pockets. Roughly half its residents were born overseas, with strong Indian, Sri Lankan and Filipino communities calling it home. We factor this in when explaining continence care to a family, since comfort with the topic varies a lot between cultures. The suburb's railway station gets commuters to Central in around 34 minutes. Grantham Heritage Park sits quietly near the old Cumberland Plain woodland. Seven Hills Plaza has anchored the shopping strip since 1960. Wherever you are in the suburb, we assess you the same way. That's true whether you're near the station, out toward Prospect, or closer to Kings Langley. Every assessment happens over telehealth, from the comfort of home.
It's not always obvious when a continence issue has moved from “something to manage” to “something worth assessing properly.” A few common triggers are worth watching for. Frequent accidents well past an expected age is one. So is skin irritation from prolonged pad use, or a participant avoiding outings because of continence worries. A family quietly spending more on products than their plan accounts for is another sign. If any of that sounds familiar, it's worth having a proper look rather than continuing to guess.
A continence nurse reviews bladder and bowel function, current products and routines, then discusses findings with you before writing a report your support coordinator can use for funding purposes.
No referral is required. You, a family member, or a support coordinator can contact us directly, though we're happy to work alongside a coordinator or plan manager if you'd prefer.
In Seven Hills, we currently assess exclusively via telehealth. Our nurses run the same structured assessment by video as they would in person, so you still get a full, NDIS-ready report — without arranging transport or taking time off for a home visit.
We assess children, adults and older participants, including children on the autism spectrum working through delayed toilet training and adults managing incontinence alongside another disability.
Cost depends on your plan and funding category. We'll explain what's typically covered before booking, and we liaise with your plan manager so there are no surprises.
