We support Self Managed and Plan Managed clients with comprehensive NDIS services. From daily life assistance to community participation, we empower you to exercise choice and control over your care.



Whether you need early intervention or ongoing support for physical, intellectual, or psychosocial disability, we work with you to build a team that respects your independence.

Whether you need early intervention or ongoing in-home care and disability support for a physical, intellectual or psychosocial disability, we work with you to build a team that respects your independence.
Our caregivers live and work locally, so care at home is never far away, anywhere in Ararat.
Many of our Nurse Next Door locations are registered NDIS providers, allowing us to support Agency Managed participants. However, all of our locations can support Self-Managed and Plan-Managed participants immediately. We recommend speaking with your local Care Designer to confirm the specific registration status of their team.
Our in-home disability support services fall under two NDIS categories: Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life, Transport, and Social & Community Participation) and Capacity Building (Improved Daily Living). This includes everyday support like personal care, plus nurse-led High Intensity daily personal activities, and overnight support when needed.
Absolutely. Choice and control are central to our approach as your disability support provider. We take great care to pair you with a caregiver or nurse who shares your interests, personality and cultural preferences, so you have a consistent team you know and trust.
Yes. Our support workers and Registered Nurses work as one team to specialise in 24/7 complex care and overnight support, overseeing high intensity needs such as ventilation, epilepsy management and wound care, so you're safe at home around the clock.
No. We do not believe in lock-in contracts. You can increase, decrease, or cancel your services at any time with appropriate notice. We understand that your goals and NDIS funding may change, so our service remains as flexible as you are.
Michelle is the most Amazing, compassionate, and caring Nurse who goes above and beyond! I highly recommend Michelle and her team without hesitation! Cared for my husband for his final 2 weeks, and she made me feel we had know each other for a life time! Sharyn
Nurse next door supports my husband with Alzhiemers, from first day I met the management team Michelle and Teacey, I have only found this organisation to be absolutely amazing. All the staff in the office couldn't be any more supportive, understanding, polite and completely professional The staff who come into my home are so professional, friendly, helpful and just amazing. Everyone of them not only support my husband but also myself. All staff are totally accommodating to my hisbands needs and undertake every task in such ease and completely professional. No matter what I have asked around my husbands support they all have been completely accommodating with no fuss just happy to help. I could not recommend nurse next door highly enough. I am person who does not mix their words and will only put my name behind recommendations unless I truly believed in what I have stated So take it from me, give nurse next door a call, you will never regret it Thank you to everyone at nurse next door for being so amazing, so accommodating friendly and totally beautiful. Most of all thank you for helping me look after my husband ❤️
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.
I am providing feedback on behalf of a NND client currently receiving services from Nurse Next Door Ballarat receiving chronic wound management. Michelle and her team have gone above and beyond for me, ensuring I feel comfortable prior to and during all procedures. I would like to thank Michelle and her team for providing an exceptional service. My wounds are improving each day thanks to Michelle and her skilled team. Noelene
