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.

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.
