How we can help
Do I need a referral or assessment to start?
No. You can access our services immediately without any external referrals or medical assessments. We simply conduct a free Caring Consult to understand your safety needs and preferences, and then we can start.
Can I book respite for just a few hours?
Yes. We offer fully flexible shifts. Whether you need three hours to go to the gym and run errands, or two weeks of 24/7 care while you go on holiday, we can build a roster that suits your lifestyle.
Is in-home respite better than a facility?
In home respite is often less disruptive and distressing. Your loved one stays in their own bed, keeps their own routine, and is surrounded by their own comforts while you get the break you need.
Can you support complex medical needs?
Absolutely. If your loved one requires medication management, wound care or mobility assistance, we can assign qualified nursing staff to ensure their needs are met just as safely as they would be in a clinical facility.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
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.

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.
