How we can help
What is the difference between a Caregiver and a Nurse?
A caregiver assists with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, meals and mobility, while a nurse (Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse) handles clinical tasks such as wound dressings, injections and catheter changes. Depending on your needs, we can provide one service or both.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book a nurse?
No. You can book a private nurse at home directly, with private nursing available, from single visits to overnight and 24 hour care, without needing a referral. Our nurses will still collaborate with your GP or specialist to keep your care aligned with your medical history.
Can you help after surgery?
Absolutely. We can arrange for a nurse or support worker to meet you at discharge, take you home, help you settle in, and provide clinical monitoring for the first critical 24 to 48 hours, so your pain is managed and you're safe during those vulnerable first few days.
Are your Nurses qualified?
Yes. We employ Registered and Enrolled Nurses who are currently registered with AHPRA, and every nurse undergoes background checks and clinical screening. Qualified caregivers are also on hand for everyday support.

Zoe, from Nurse Next Door is great! She personally responds promptly to enquiries in a highly professional manner. During her care consultations, it is obvious that she genuinely cares and really takes the time to understand peoples needs to ensure her clients are matched to a care provider to meet their unique requirements.

Nurse Next Door have given me much needed piece of mind since starting to care for my husband, who has younger onset dementia. I can now leave the house knowing that he will be safe and cared for. Zoe and her team have been amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. Nurse Next Door provide 24/7 support. As Ken’s dementia progresses, I know that Zoe and her team will be able to provide the level of care he will require, which is a huge relief for me.

Caroline Hill-Murray
Engaging the services of nurses via the Nurse next Door for a loved one with health concerns has been one of the best decisions we've made about care. Our loved one feels cared for and respected, looks forward to visits and the interactions have built confidence for all of us. Having trained professionals reviewing BP, skin checks and other checks regularly and recommending changes, if required for better health management has reduced our anxiety around health and well-being. The staff are wonderful.

Rose McEwin
Thank you Zoe and your team for taking such great care of a family member of mine. We were concerned about getting any sort of care at home due to the fact that he can be difficult at times. However, Zoe took the time to allocate the right person for the job and we are so grateful. Thank you!
Jenny Bradley
We have been extremely lucky to have Jess and Zoe as our care providers. I am very fussy when it comes to carers for my sons but I could not ask for a better fit than Jess. Jess has been a god send to me, as a single parent to two boys with ASD, I find it hard to do many social activities with the boys as their day to day care needs are quite high. Jess takes them fishing, shopping and for a bite to eat. Jess is vital in ensuring the boys learn about how to participate in their community and teaches them vital skills such as using money, asking for things and appropriate behaviour in public. Jess looks like any other person getting around with the boys and blends in perfectly as my sons do not want others to see them with a 'carer' wearing a uniform and advertising this role and their autism. This is essential in helping the boys feel accepted in the world. Jess is rapidly becoming part of our family and the boys love him. He's cool, professional and relates well to my boys and I. I feel very safe knowing the boys are with him. I cannot recommend him enough. Zoe is critical in coordinating the boys care needs with Jess and is always polite, astute and reliable. She is indispensable to me and my boys. Cannot recommend these lovely people enough. Thank you Jess and Zoe from a very grateful Mum.
