How we can help
What is a Care Designer?
A Care Designer is always a senior Registered Nurse. They are your dedicated partner who develops and oversees your care plan, manages the roster, and ensures we are meeting your specific goals, whether that is remaining independent at home or accessing the community.
How does Care Management work with the new Support at Home Program?
Under Support at Home, Care Management is a vital service to help you coordinate your distinct funding budgets (Clinical, Independence, and Everyday Living). We help you plan your quarterly budget so you don't run short on essential services.
Can I access Care Management privately?
Absolutely. Many families choose to pay privately for a Care Designer to oversee a loved one's care, especially if they live interstate or have complex medical needs. We provide the same level of clinical oversight and advocacy regardless of how the service is funded.
Can you support both NDIS and Aged Care in one household?
Yes. Mixed funding households are common. If one family member is on the NDIS and another is accessing Support at Home, your Care Designer can coordinate rosters to minimise disruption and streamline communication.
Do you charge for Care Management?
Yes. For Support at Home clients, this is paid from your funding budget. For NDIS participants, it is covered under relevant support items. For private clients, we offer a transparent fee structure. We ensure you understand all costs before care begins.
What happens if there is an emergency after hours?
The Care Services Team is available 24/7, 365 days a year. If a crisis occurs or urgent advice is needed, you can call and speak with a team member who knows your care plan.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I contacted Nurse Next Door (NND) late in 2022 regarding supplementary care services that became necessary in support of my mother. Sacha returned my call and confirmed that NND could meet all of our requirements which were quite extensive and I knew would be challenging. Initially the caregiving requirement was only for a few hours per week but then circumstances changed suddenly and NND were able to quickly scale up to 24x7 for several months. This continues to date. NND were able to sensitively and professionally handle mum's condition. This was important when transporting mum to and from medical appointments - for example dentists, etc. Recently, mum moved from one residential aged care facility to another and NND caregivers proved critical to what was a successful transition. Their smiling familiar faces and ability to coordinate with other parties, in providing continuity of care to mum throughout the transfer, was just brilliant. Sacha's responsiveness never wavered when problems were encountered or the situation required prompt action. Always ready to assist and/or advise. Respectfully offering many insightful suggestions on how to deal with several of the caregiving twists and turns we faced as a family. There was such comfort in knowing that we could rely on Sacha and her team. Over and above the call of duty! Thankyou.

Maddy Fry
Nurse Next door was amazing. They supported mum at a time when she couldn't support herself. Their industry knowledge, compassion and service was outstanding and they had the solutions to many if mum's problems. Thank you for easing the burden.

Great businesses need to be spoken about and recommended; without doubt Nurse Next Door deserves this completely. I’ve been receiving nursing care from them for close to two years. Within that time, I can honestly say I have received nothing more than pure professionalism and a great service. Adding to this, I can say they are good people, kind people, and funny people who actually give a damn. This is very rare these days for other organisations who just treat you like a number. If you are in the need for great Nursing care or personalised Home Care Services, look no further than Nurse Next Door. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

My mother is 94 and was lonely, isolated and struggling to remain independent. Through the government funding that allowed us to engage Nurse Next Door, my mother's life has changed completely. Nurse Next Door's care for my mother three times a week has provided her with companionship and someone to help with meals and essential things like changing her bed and washing her laundry. Her mental health is vastly improved and she is now calmer and happier. Her life revolves around "Fiona days" - when she knows she will have company and loving attention. My life has changed too - in the background I am dealing with schedulers, nurses and financial people who respond to my emails very quickly and help me resolve problems, manage our annual budget and liaise with me professionally and quickly regarding Mum's physical and mental needs. Mum is happier therefore I am happier, and endlessly grateful that Nurse Next Door has come into our lives.
Jan Miles
A great service. I enjoyed the initial caring interview and felt very confident about the services offered. This has been borne out in practice, and I am so pleased I chose "Nurse Next Door". My nurse has been so caring and helpful.
Gary Wert Senior
Sacha initially came to see my father Norman Monday to Saturday for an hour, after my father had an episode of low BP at home which required hospital admission. Knowing that Nurse Next Door were coming every morning to check Dad’s observations has been reassuring for both Dad and me. Sacha also has a back up nurse Kelly, equally just as lovely and efficient who attends and knows Norman’s routine. This gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend Nurse Next Door with their professionalism and care.
