Helping NDIS providers deliver complex care with stronger governance, clearer systems and safer workforce practices.
Complex Care Advisory was founded by Jennifer Fairweather, a Registered Nurse with a background in critical care, clinical governance, quality systems and high intensity support advisory.
The service was created to help providers bridge the gap between compliance on paper and safe practice in real-world support settings. We work with NDIS providers to identify clinical governance gaps, strengthen complex care systems and build more defensible workforce competency processes.
WHAT WE DO
Clinical governance, built for the NDIS
Complex Care Advisory helps NDIS providers strengthen the clinical governance, quality systems and workforce capability required to safely deliver High Intensity Daily Personal Activities (HIDPA) and complex clinical supports.
We work with providers to identify gaps, reduce risk and build more practical systems around participant-specific care, escalation pathways, documentation, incident review, safe staffing and competency evidence. Our focus is not just whether a document exists, but whether the system behind it can support safe practice in real service delivery.
Our services are designed for providers who want greater confidence in their complex care systems; whether preparing for audit, responding to incidents, reviewing current practice or expanding into higher-risk supports.
We work across high intensity supports, complex clinical care and Supported Independent Living (SIL), helping providers prepare for the SIL Practice Standards and meet NDIS Practice Standards and HIDPA requirements with confidence.
We specialise in the clinical and operational challenges that come with supporting people with complex clinical needs and assist to translate dense NDIS language into practical systems your team can actually use.
What is clinical governance?
Clinical governance is the system that makes sure care is safe, appropriate and well managed.
It is how an organisation identifies clinical risk, makes decisions about care, supports workers to practise safely, responds when something goes wrong, and continually improves the quality of support provided.
In complex care, clinical governance is especially important because the risks are higher. Providers need more than policies and training records. They need clear accountability, participant-specific care documentation, competent staff, practical escalation pathways, incident review processes and oversight that matches the complexity of the support being delivered.
Strong clinical governance helps ensure that participants receive safer, more consistent care, and that providers can show how clinical risks are being managed in practice.
FOUNDING DIRECTOR
Helping NDIS providers build safer, stronger systems for complex care.
I’m Jennifer, the founder of Complex Care Advisory and a Registered Nurse with more than 15 years’ healthcare experience across acute care, intensive care, clinical escalation, education, governance and quality improvement.
My commitment to complex care is both professional and personal. Growing up with a brother with complex disability gave me early insight into how much families rely on services being safe, skilled and genuinely person-centred. I understand the trust participants and families place in providers, and the huge responsibility providers carry when supporting people with complex health needs.
I created Complex Care Advisory to help NDIS providers strengthen the way they deliver high intensity and complex supports. My work focuses on practical clinical governance, workforce capability, clear escalation pathways, documentation, risk management and systems that support safer day-to-day care.
I bring both clinical depth and governance experience to this work, with formal training in critical care, auditing, integrated management systems and training and assessment. My background spans hospital, community, aged care, disability, primary care and complex support environments, giving me a broad understanding of the real-world challenges providers face.
At its core, Complex Care Advisory exists to help providers move beyond basic compliance and build care systems that genuinely protect the people they support.
