Our Story

Purpose and Values align

Amber Biesse and Matt Fitton’s journey began in 2016, when they moved to Vancouver to support their daughter's learning needs.  

While living there, they discovered Nurse Next Door - a purpose-driven brand that aligned perfectly with their values. It felt like serendipity; they had moved to Vancouver to change their daughter’s life, and found a business dedicated to changing the lives of others. They knew immediately they had to bring the bold pink brand home to Australia.

Launching in Melbourne in 2019, under Amber & Matt's leadership the brand has since grown to over 70 locations around Australia and employs over 3000 caregivers and nurses.

What a great idea, it has been needed for a long time. I have been doing aged care 20years, my family didn’t put my sister in a residential as we looked after her. I see so many people who do not need to be in residential with all the red tape. I have helped my nextdoor neighbours to get assistance at home. Wow keep up the good work.

Keir and her team have very diligently cared for my very dear friend every day for months. I couldn’t ask for a more responsive and caring team. I’ve met a lot of service providers in my time and this team is the best! Great communicators always putting the client at the centre of what they do. Thank you-it’s such important work you do.

I first had the pleasure to come in contact with the Nurse Next Door Werribee branch through my Motor Neurone Disease provider Lauryn Matheson following a stay in hospital with pneumonia and sepsis. I had the pleasure to meet with Shalini and Eugene in my home in June, whilst still in hospital at home care . My first impression of Shalini and Eugene was of the upmost respect , without a doubt I found Shalini Eugene of the highest professionalism, kindness , reliable and trustworthy and compassionate about their profession. Both Shalini and Eugene have taken me to many hospital appointments Scans and reviews to the thoracic team of doctors , including Northern health MND appointments. I have also had the pleasure to meet Lily who cleans my house fortunately as well as taken me to appointments. . A very lovely caring and respectful young lady . I am feeling grateful and blessed to have the Nurse Next Door in my Life . Thank you .

Seven months ago, my brother and our family engaged the Nurse Next Door Agency to assist with his personal care, home maintenance including cooking and cleaning and community access. We are very grateful for the outstanding service provided by the Agency. Particularly impressive is their consistently high standard of service from all employees, demonstrating excellent recruitment and training. The Agency has been prompt, reliable, caring and ready to step in at short notice. We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone seeking similar care. Majella Rush & Bernadette Hoffman

Nurse Next Door has been a game-changer for me. They help with personal care, social outings, and appointments, making my life so much easier and more enjoyable. Their carers, like Kathy, Shalini, Eugene, and Lily, are absolute legends. They’re professional, kind, and feel more like family than carers. Each brings unique skills and a special touch to their care, and I feel so lucky to have them on my team. I only wish I’d found this company sooner! Nurse Next Door also picks up on my mood when I am down asking me simple, thoughtful questions about how I’m doing or what’s been happening. They make appointments much more comfortable and relaxed, which I really appreciate. As an added bonus, their support gives my mum, who’s my aging carer, a much-needed break to recharge. My tip? Be open with your Nurse Next Door assignment person about what you need, and take time to meet different carers to find the right fit. Also, give them plenty of time to match you with the perfect carer. Share as much information as possible upfront—it really helps them provide the best care. And don’t forget to leave constructive feedback to help improve their service. All in all, Nurse Next Door is everything a person with a disability needs to live their best life, no matter the situation or place. Highly recommend.😁😁💜💜💜
