Owned and operated by northside local Gerard O’Donoghue, Nurse Next Door Brisbane North West & Moreton Bay proudly serves the communities from Milton, Toowong, Indooroopilly and down the river to St Lucia, up through Pullenvale, Brookfield, Mt Coo-tha and out to Samford Valley, and across to Bridgeman Downs and Albany Creek; as well as those in Moreton Bay including: North Lakes, Kallangur, Deception Bay, Redcliffe and Scarborough, offering home care that’s Making Lives Better®.
With his wife’s expertise supporting vulnerable people and their families in the area of community social work, chronic disease management and mental health, there is a wealth of experience, commitment and passion for keeping people living independently in their own homes. This passion was further reinforced when Gerard’s wife had a major stroke in January 2019, where she faced the prospect herself, of nursing home care at the age of 48.
As husband and carer, Gerard understands the stress a life changing event can place on family and loved one’s. Guided by this ‘lived experience’, Gerard’s promise to you, is to do whatever it takes to make your life better; after all: It’s about caring, not just healthcare.

As a Support Coordinator, I meet so many providers — but every now and then, a team comes along that genuinely restores your faith in what caring for others should look like. Nurse Next Door has been one of those rare experiences for me. Their support workers don’t just “complete tasks.” They show up with heart. I’ve seen them bring comfort on the hardest days, celebrate the small wins, and treat clients with a level of gentleness and respect that can’t be taught — it has to come from real compassion. They communicate openly, listen deeply, and never make participants feel like a number on a roster. Instead, they make people feel safe, valued, and truly seen. For families who have struggled to find consistency or kindness in care, Nurse Next Door has been a breath of fresh air. Watching how they walk alongside participants — especially those with complex needs — has reminded me why I chose this field. Their dedication doesn’t just support clients; it brings peace, dignity, and moments of joy back into people’s lives. 💗 I wholeheartedly recommend Nurse Next Door to anyone needing support that comes from a place of genuine care and humanity.
