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.

Christine Griffiths
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.
