Course Description

Complex bowel care is a high-intensity support area under the NDIS Practice Standards. It involves assisting participants with specialised bowel management, including the administration of enemas, suppositories, and monitoring bowel health. This course introduces learners to safe and respectful practices, roles and responsibilities, and compliance requirements.

The training ensures support workers understand both the clinical aspects of bowel care and the importance of preserving participant dignity, privacy, and choice during care delivery.

Course Outcomes

By the end of this 60-minute training, learners will be able to:

  1. Explain Complex Bowel Care: Define bowel care and outline key conditions such as constipation, diarrhoea, and faecal incontinence.
  2. Identify Roles and Responsibilities: Differentiate between the responsibilities of registered nurses and support workers in delivering bowel care.
  3. Follow Care Plans: Interpret and apply individual Complex Bowel Care Plans, including recognising red-flag symptoms that require escalation.
  4. Demonstrate Safe Procedures: Safely prepare for and assist with enemas, suppositories, and related interventions while maintaining infection control.
  5. Use Bowel Care Tools: Apply tools such as the Bristol Stool Chart and Complex Bowel Chart for accurate record-keeping and monitoring.
  6. Maintain Dignity and Respect: Deliver care that supports participant choice, privacy, and dignity, in line with the NDIS Code of Conduct.
  7. Respond to Emergencies: Identify signs of complications (e.g., bleeding, impaction, severe pain) and follow escalation pathways to health practitioners.
