How we can help
Can you provide medical pain relief?
Yes. Our team includes qualified Registered Nurses who can administer pain relief injections, manage pumps or syringe drivers, and coordinate with your palliative care team or GP to keep symptoms well controlled.
How quickly can services start?
We understand that time is often short. We can usually arrange a consultation and begin care within 24 hours (or sooner in urgent situations). We handle the logistics so you can focus on your loved one.
Do you work with the hospital palliative care team?
Yes. We work collaboratively with community palliative care teams, hospices and GPs. We act as the eyes and ears in the home, updating the medical team on any changes in condition to ensure seamless care.
Is this service only for the final days?
No. Palliative care can begin at any stage of a life limiting illness, well before end of life care is needed. We support families for months or even years, helping manage day-to-day comfort, dignity and quality of life, including overnight and 24-hour support when required.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
When my mother was rendered incapable after some mini-strokes, and before she could be moved into full-time care, we used the services of Nurse Next Door to provide 24 hour nursing at home. We were delighted with both the quality of care they provided, and in their organisation and administration. They claim to provide "peace of mind" and in my experience they did exactly that. I can whole-heartedly recommend them.

"I have been using the services of Nurse Next Door for my mother for over 2 years now.
Mum's weekly carers are so professional and friendly and very bright company for Mum. NND are always flexible and responsive and it puts my mind at ease knowing that Mum's care is top notch and that she is happy in their company.
Mum made a decision to stay at home and not move to retirement care. Nurse Next Door has allowed Mum's wishes to be a reality, supporting not only Mum, but we as Mum's family also.
I highly recommend Nurse Next Door in Canberra!"

Nurse Next Door stepped in to assist with urgent, in-home palliative care when our regular provider failed. They provided a responsive, compassionate and professional service that permitted my mother to die in her own bed, with loved ones around her as she wished. As a health professional myself, based on our experience, I fully recommend them.

"I had been amazed of how my life turned around, simply by the caring routine from all the assigned support workers the last 9 months. I am happy and proud to say my life is still transforming for the better and better!!! Having to go through the pitts and was at rock bottom, suffering from various mental and physical disabilities for years ( firstly undiagnosed) I found life hell to simply put.
With the professionalism, caring, understanding of all the staff, from the management and each and every support workers had made tremendous progress and contributed positively into my life each and every encounter. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Graham, Tesring, Rodney, Tula, Robin, Christine...Thank you Thank you. And of couse thank you to Ross, the head that making it all possible."
