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.

I am a full-time carer for my mum and have been for the last four years. I made the decision to change to Nurses Next Door Rockhampton after a bad experience with our previous company, and it has been the best decision I have ever made. The office staff made transitioning easy and comfortable—they are so welcoming and caring, and nothing is too much. The ladies in the office are bubbly and have made a really difficult time in mine and my mum’s life a lot easier. The RN who visits our home comes in with a big smile and bubbly personality, making even a bad day so much better. They go above and beyond to ensure the client and family have everything they need—they genuinely care about both the client and their family. I no longer feel invisible. The support workers I have met are amazing. They are caring, happy to be in your company, and always willing to help make life easier for the client and Family members. Thanks to them, my mum has regained her independence. The team at Nurses Next Door has helped me be a daughter to my mum again, which I never thought was possible. You’ve given both of us our smiles back—we finally get to be happy and make memories together. If you choose Nurses Next Door Rockhampton as your support company, you won’t regret it. Thank you to all the lovely ladies on the team, from the bottom of my heart—from a very grateful daughter.
