Wound Care Competency Assessment
An editable NDIS wound care competency assessment for checking that a support worker can safely deliver complex wound care for a specific participant. A Registered Nurse or Wound Care Specialist conducts it initially, annually, after changed needs or after a break of 3 or more months.
What is inside:
- Worker, participant, assessor and delegation details, with AHPRA numbers and assessment type
- Knowledge assessment: wound assessment factors, infection signs, sterile technique, when to call the nurse and bleeding response
- Knowledge of pressure injury stages and prevention, and cautions for diabetic foot wounds
- Observed skills: plan review, product checks, positioning and removing the old dressing
- Wound assessment, irrigation, glove changes, and primary and secondary dressing application
- Avoiding tape on fragile skin, clinical waste disposal and accurate documentation
- Outcome, action plan, reassessment dates and signatures from the assessor, worker and manager
Good to know: the worker must be rated satisfactory on every item before working independently, and delegation is issued only once competency is confirmed.
- Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
- Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
