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.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
Really happy with Nurse Next Door and the services they provide.
Maddy Fry
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.

Sasha came to provide care for my 91year old mother and she was superb with her. Her easy warmth and calm efficiency relaxed Mum who found her to be wonderful.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Lisa De Fazio
Professional care and friendly. Super support and very beneficial for recovery after hospital stay. Couldn’t recommend a better service of care.
Glenys Wolfe
Professional, very capable, qualified and friendly staff. The best care available in my opinion after three years of great service. I thoroughly recommend the Nurse Next Door team.
Craig Warner

Nick Kenno
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.
