Owned and operated by northside local Gerard O’Donoghue, 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.

Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
When my mother was rendered incapable after some mini-strokes, and before she could be moved into full-time care, we used the services of Nurse Next Door to provide 24 hour nursing at home. We were delighted with both the quality of care they provided, and in their organisation and administration. They claim to provide "peace of mind" and in my experience they did exactly that. I can whole-heartedly recommend them.
Alasdair
"I have been using the services of Nurse Next Door for my mother for over 2 years now.
Mum's weekly carers are so professional and friendly and very bright company for Mum. NND are always flexible and responsive and it puts my mind at ease knowing that Mum's care is top notch and that she is happy in their company.
Mum made a decision to stay at home and not move to retirement care. Nurse Next Door has allowed Mum's wishes to be a reality, supporting not only Mum, but we as Mum's family also.
I highly recommend Nurse Next Door in Canberra!"
Alison
Nurse Next Door stepped in to assist with urgent, in-home palliative care when our regular provider failed. They provided a responsive, compassionate and professional service that permitted my mother to die in her own bed, with loved ones around her as she wished. As a health professional myself, based on our experience, I fully recommend them.

I am happy and proud to say my life is still transforming for the better and better!!!
