Urinary Catheter Support Training (IDC and SPC)

This complex care training is designed specifically for support workers to develop the essential knowledge and skills required to assist participants to manage their urinary elimination needs via a catheter or external drainage device. The trainer will demonstrate the management of different types of catheters and external drainage devices and discuss potential complications. The training is competency based. To receive a Statement of Competence, participants must satisfactorily complete an assessment of knowledge and skills. This course is consistent with the NDIS High Intensity Support Skills Descriptor for Urinary Catheter Support (excluding in-out catheters). This program does not include training on insertion and removal of catheters as this action should only be completed by a Registered Nurse.
