Delivering Tracheostomy Care in Brisbane

Brisbane tracheostomy participants are typically linked to a respiratory or ENT team at the Royal Brisbane or the PA, and those teams set the tube regime. Our nurses execute it and, critically, rehearse the emergency response with the household rather than filing it.

Frequently Asked Questions | Tracheostomy Care Brisbane

Can support workers do tracheostomy suctioning in Brisbane?
Yes, once trained and assessed under the NDIS high intensity supports framework, with a registered nurse holding the clinical plan and providing oversight. That is what makes continuous tracheostomy support affordable and practical rather than requiring a nurse present at all times.
What is the emergency plan if the tube blocks or comes out?
A written, rehearsed protocol specific to your tube and your home, agreed with your treating team. Spare tubes of the correct size stay in the house, everyone supporting you is trained on the protocol, and we practise it. A plan nobody has rehearsed is not a plan.
