Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I have found the service provided by Nurse Next Door to be exceptional. Kudos to Julie who has managed to adapt her workers' schedules for me sometimes with very little notice.
Adrian Horin
I would like to acknowledge the wonderful care my Mother has received from the carers. As my Mother lives 4 and a half hours away from me, I needed Carers who were caring, reliable, honest, competent and able to guide my Mum. Mum looks forward to their visits. The Carers are understanding of Mum's needs and always brighten her day. I would highly recommend Fraser Coast Nurse Next Door.
Wendy Logan
I couldn’t be more thankful for the assistance the Nurse Next Door team has provided for my parents. They have truly gone above and beyond and have done an amazing job caring for my parents in my absence. They are all friendly and approachable. They have also assisted my mother with day to day activities such as grocery shopping and organising appointments. They truly feel like part of the family.

Peter Bray
When my Dad first received his aged care package, I was overwhelmed with confusion of which service provider to go with in Hervey Bay. We had a chance meeting with Jared from NND while out having coffee one morning and Dad, Mum and myself knew straight away that it was the right service for Dad. Mum now has an aged care package and is also with NND. Jared is the most delightful human and the team he works with are absolutely wonderful. If you are looking for a local provider in Hervey Bay that provides holistic, compassionate and good old fashioned face to face service, I highly recommend Nurse Next Door.
Samantha-Anne Meyer
Nurse Next Door provided exceptional care for my mother. The staff/carers & nurses are client focused & consistent which suited my mum and I. Nothing was a bother, they were flexible & adaptable when needed & always available when on call. They were respectful, kind, caring & very supportive to the family unit. Thank you for your dedication in providing support that was tailored to the needs of mum.
