The NDIS in briefThe National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a federal scheme designed to support people with lifelong disability in areas such as independence, community participation, employment, life skills and wellbeing.
The NDIS provides choice and control to Participants of the scheme over how they receive and manage their support and live their lives.
Which HARTMANN continence-related products are covered by the NDIS?
HARTMANN’s range of MoliCare absorbent products and MoliCare Skin are eligible for NDIS funding. They fall into the category of ‘Assistive Technology, Assistive Products for Personal Care and Safety’ and are classed as Core funding in the NDIS price guide.

Assisting the participant’s journey to the NDIS
Pharmacists and Pharmacy Assistants can play a role in supporting Participants to get their continence needs met under the NDIS.
1 Advise the Participant which products can be accessedunder the NDIS. These include absorbent pads such as the HARTMANN MoliCare range and specialised skin care products, where deemed to be reasonable and necessary. Other continence products such as intermittent catheters and lubricant, bedding protection (e.g. MoliNea), catheters, bags, night bottles or bags, sheaths and alarms are also accessible under the NDIS.
2 Encourage Participants to record how continence issuesaffect their lifestyle choices to take to their planning meeting. This could cover their social lives, employment, education, relationships, sleeping, and what could be improved through better continence management. There are free NDIS pre-planning booklets available online and service providers often offer free pre-planning sessions. (Scan QR code on page 15 for a copy of the Participant’s Goals template.)
3 Ask whether their continence needs have changedsince their last assessment and would they like to try a different approach? If so, they are able to get a Continence Assessment funded as part of their NDIS plan.
4 If the Participant is happy with their current continencemanagement plan, providing them with a quote for an annual supply of their continence products to take to their NDIS planning meeting is useful. (Scan QR code on page 15 for a copy of the Continence Budget Planner.)
5 Educate them on the importance of skin care. Remember,not all skin care products are the same. Many skin care products will block the absorbent core of continence pads so it is important to select a range that is designed to work in combination with continence pads, such as MoliCare Skin.
Take the opportunity to remind the Participant of the MoliMore loyalty prorgamme.

2 Size: Correct size will ensure maximum comfort and leakage protection
3 Absorbency: Giving the level of protection needed
StyleFull mobility: All styles ranges. Selection is based on personal preference.

Take measurement at largest width
Size Measure waist at the largest width between the waist and hips. Select the product size based on the size guide printed on the product packaging. Leakage may occur if the product is too large or too small.

Skin care awarenessIt’s important to pay special attention to your skin when incontinent to keep skin in a comfortable and healthy condition.
Your skin’s natural pH during incontinenceHealthy skin has a slightly acidic pH value of 4.5 to 5.5. Exposure to incontinence episodes increases the skin’s pH which impairs the skin’s protective barrier. This leads to Incontinence Associated Dermatitis.
Incontinence Associated DermatitisIs an inflammation of the skin due to chronic incontinence and may be accompanied by redness, blistering, erosion and secondary infection.
42.5% of people with incontinence develop skin complications.1
Not all continence pads are the same. Select a product that has been medically tested such as the HARTMANN range of continence products.
Looking after your skin
• Clean and care for your skin after each episode• Do not rub skin while cleaning• Keep the skin dry and clean• Use continence skin care products such as MoliCare Skin –
designed specifically for use with continence products toclean, care and protect your skin.
Maintaining your skin’s pH balance with MoliCareMoliCare Absorbent Products contain Curly Fibre, an innovation that reduces the pH of urine to levels compatible with your skin. This helps reduce the risk of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis.
Caring for your skin with MoliCare Skin range of productsMoliCare Skin comes in a range of products designed to clean, protect and care for skin exposed to continence episodes. MoliCare Skin provides a flexible range to suit any continence skincare routine.
