How we can help
Who performs the wound care?
Basic wound care can be performed by our qualified caregivers with the oversight from the Care designer. All complex wound care and wound management is performed by our qualified Registered Nurses (RNs) or Enrolled Nurses (ENs). They are currently registered with AHPRA and trained in strict aseptic techniques and infection control to ensure your safety.
Do I need to buy my own dressings?
Not necessarily. We can work with the supplies you already have, or coordinate directly with your pharmacy to have the right clinical dressings and bandages delivered to your home. Our nurses also assess your wound at every visit to make sure the products being used are supporting healing.
Can you treat diabetic wounds?
Yes. We have specialised experience in diabetic wound management, including diabetic foot ulcers. Our nurses take a holistic approach, treating the wound itself while also monitoring blood glucose levels and providing education to help prevent future complications.
Do I need a referral to book this service?
No, you can book our nurse led team privately without a referral. For complex wounds, we will ask for discharge summaries or care plans from your doctor, so we can collaborate with your GP and keep your clinical care consistent.

Nurse Next Door Home Care Services has been a wonderful inclusion and integral part of my mother's goals to remain independent in her own house while she works through her medical condition. The team of nurses lead by Cheryl have been amazing both professionally and personally. Updates and reviews have been instrumental in being able to address events in real time all without having to worry or stress my mother. Now having been backed by NDIS funding we are able to have more support from the team to help my mothers journey for independence and normality.

I couldn’t recommend Nurse next door more highly. My daughter has very complex high care needs and they were so helpful filling shifts for us at quite short notice with fully qualified registered nurses. The nurses were fantastic and very experienced. Looking forward to working with them again. Catherine McCann

This year my father found himself in the situation of needing care at home for wound management, but also general care needs around the home. Nurse Next Door were available immediately to fill these gaps, while remaining flexible with his reoccurring hospital presentations, they were always professional and caring. Communication was exceptional particularly in a very stressful time for us as a family. Have already recommended them, and send them a big thank you. My father has passed away now, but they made a stressful year that bit easier. Many thanks again

We have only just begun our aged care journey. Just before I stumbled across Nurse Next Door it felt as though I’d been shopping for a used car with care factor 0, no understanding of situation, just number crunching with little human element and endless call backs chasing me for the business with no care felt whatsoever. Kylie was my first contact and she was highly professional, empathetic/understanding and totally accommodating to our situation. She revealed a little of the back story behind the business and what twins, Michelle & Nicole, are doing to provide a service to our local community like they do is noticed and appreciated! Omg am I so glad I found you. Thanks for showing up in my parent’s time of need. It’s early days but we already feel completely supported and heard. Keep up the pink! 🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷
