How we can help
What is the difference between prompting and administering?
Prompting is when a caregiver provides a friendly reminder that it is time for medication and hands you your pharmacy-packed aid (like a Webster-pak) to take yourself. Administering is where a qualified caregiver or Nurse physically prepares and gives you the medication (including injections, creams, or loose tablets) and observes you taking it. We offer both levels of support depending on your needs.
Can your staff give injections?
Yes, in many cases. Straightforward injections, such as fixed dose or single dose insulin, may be given by a qualified caregiver. More complex injections, including sliding scale insulin and other clinical injections, are carried out by our Registered Nurses or Enrolled Nurses.
Is this covered by the Support at Home Program?
Yes. Medication administration by a nurse typically falls under the Clinical Care funding classification. Your Care Designer will help you budget for these visits to ensure your health needs are prioritised within your funding level.
Do I need a Webster-pak?
No, you are not required to have a Webster pack. We can support medication administration directly from the original packaging. However, to help you maintain independence and ensure medications are taken safely and consistently, pharmacy-packed aids such as a Webster pack or sachets may be beneficial.
What happens if my doctor changes my dosage?
We take care of it for you. If your medication changes, our clinical team liaises directly with your GP and pharmacist to update your medication chart and make sure your packs are repacked or updated straight away, so your routine stays accurate without you having to chase anything up.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
The Nurse Next Door Adelaide South West Team are Amazing! I cannot reccommend them enough! When Mum's Package finally came through Anthony, Sally & Jo made appointing them her provider and beginning her services so easy and seamless. There was just kindness and ease. Being an only child, Mum has become more reliant on me as she has got older and had more health issues which have caused her to slow down and have more restrictions on what she used to be able to manage. The Wonderful thing with Nurse Next Door is they match their carers to their clients well and Mum has two lovely carers who come twice a week and she loves them. They take her to appointments, shopping and on all sorts of outings and sometimes just stay with her at home and help her with tasks she needs some help to acheive. Another Benefit is she also can get 3 light and easy meals a week which helps her and makes it that she has less meals preparation to do which the careers are available to help her with anyway. The flexibility of the the visits to be added or moved slightly when she has appointments is amazing. Belinda and Sheree show such care and consideration for mum and time spent with them builds her spirits and give her purpose. She has also had the addition of Mandy filling in when the other girls aren't available and Mandy is such a joy and really has a good laugh with mum's and keeps her spirit young at heart. Belind G has also joined her team for extra household cleaning and maintenance that mum cannot manage on her own anymore. I also cant thank Kerry enough for filling in while mums regular girls were away. It warms my heart to see that she is now feeling more independant of me and has her own self worth and purpose the team make her feels so supported to stay in her own home. Thanks so much for the ongoing support from the Nurse Next Door Adelaide South West Team. We look forward to a long relationship of care for mum. Deirdre Dixon on behalf of Rosemary Dixon.

My family and I are incredibly grateful for the Nurse Next Door Adelaide South West team, who have been supporting my Dad with NDIS services. From the very beginning, the intake process was so well done, and the team matched Dad with the perfect carer. Whenever we have needed extra supports, their communication has been consistently prompt, friendly and genuinely caring. The level of care and compassion Dad receives from his team is outstanding. It’s such a comfort knowing we can trust Nurse Next Door Adelaide South West to look after him so well. We couldn't be more thankful for them!
