How we can help
Who provides the care, Nurses or Support Workers?
It depends on your clinical needs. Registered Nurses (RNs) perform specific procedures like catheter changes or complex wound care. For high intensity tasks like PEG feeding or bowel care, we use highly trained Caregivers. These staff are signed off by a Clinical Nurse Specialist and receive ongoing supervision to ensure safety.
How do you ensure clinical safety?
We work under a clear Clinical Governance Framework. Every complex care client has a designated Clinical Lead who builds your care plan, trains staff to your specific needs, and carries out regular reviews so all health protocols are followed.
Can I use my NDIS funding for this?
Yes. We are experienced in supporting participants with High Intensity Daily Personal Activities funding. We work with your Support Coordinator to build a roster that maximizes your budget while meeting your clinical requirements.
What specific conditions can you support?
Our team supports a wide range of complex needs, including Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI), Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI), Motor Neurone Disease (MND), and Cerebral Palsy. If you have a specific diagnosis, please contact us to discuss your care plan.
What happens if my regular carer is sick?
Consistency matters for safety. We build a care team around you rather than relying on one person, so multiple staff are trained on your specific equipment and routines. If your primary carer is unavailable, another team member who knows you well can step in.
Can you provide 24/7 coverage?
Yes, we specialise in 24/7 complex care. We build rosters to cover day, evening and overnight shifts, including active and inactive overnight support, so you are never without the clinical support you need.

I got lucky when I found Nurse NextDoor. The team they have wrapped around me are professional, gentle and caring and bring a spark to my day when they arrive. Nothing is too much to ask, and to be able to speak with your team, not a call centre, is massively reassuring. Well done team, and thankyou.
Julie Hays
Lovely staff members, caring and thoughtful.

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!
Alison Gerrard
After contacting many providers NND Canberra were the only one that were willing to provide the service and were still using the NDIS for nursing support. I was requiring a nurse to perform, support and trouble shoot a procedure for my son who has a disability in his home. The service was set up with ease. I have also found the communication between the agency and my son, and I has been excellent. My son is very happy with the support he is getting with the nurses (who have all been the same people) and we always receive the roster in advance. The nurses are trained well in the procedure and have always been respectful to my son. Very happy with NND Canberra.

Don't know how I got by without them. Nurse Next Door makes every day better, even the ones when I'm at my worst.
Alison Grills
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.
Andrew Crane
Very easy to get set up. They were extremely professional, responsive and flexible. The service was great and gave me huge peace of mind to get out and get some rest. I will definitely be using their services again.
Sam Chard
We were so thankful to find Nurse Next Door when our Mum needed assistance to remain living at home independently, she was treated with respect and kindness by Nurse Next Doors professional carers. After moving to residential care and having major surgery Nurse Next Door was an absolute saviour in Mums post operative care. Every interaction with the Nurse Next Door has been positive, with people who really care.
Rebecca Nikias
It was very helpful to access to a local provider for a timely assessment and report required for NDIS review. It was a much faster and more affordable option (didn’t have to pay for someone to travel interstate) than we have previously experienced.
Sandra Pymont
NND have provided a valuable care option for my mum in her home. With NND as a part of our regular care team, I feel confident there is also back up with experienced carers when we need it.

If you are unfortunate enough that you require Nursing assistance, you will be pleased to know that Nurse Next Door can take care of your every need. Nurse Next Door have been assisting me on a daily basis for over a year now. I don't know what I would do without them. The staff are always Enthusiastic, Thoughtful and Friendly and have consistently made extra efforts to accommodate all my nursing and medical needs and have consistently provided excellent service. I am very pleased with the quality of service Nurse Next Door provides. Thank you Nurse Next Door for making my life easier.
Chris Gore
The lovely nurses assisted me with wound dressings and ADL for about a week for an hour or two in the mornings. Due to the unique wound care protocols, a buddy shifts were done with my wife. Couldn't fault the care and diligence of the nurses. Would use them again, if needed.
Trevor Robinson
I had great difficulties trying to organize nursing care for my brother who came to stay with me in Canberra for 4 months. Rang numerous providers but they had no nursing capacity to help us out. Rang Nurse Next Door and they were absolutely brilliant from the start. I spoke with a representative and they organized for someone to come out and assess our needs. The nurses who attended my brothers services were absolutely brilliant, very caring and showed a lot of empathy. It was wonderful seeing my brother interact so well with others. They all cared about their work, you could see they loved what they were doing. We were kept up to date with weekly rosters, so we knew exactly who was attending. I would highly recommend their services.
Magdalena Hodak
We engaged Nurse Next Door to provide in-home support for my 89 year old much loved father-in-law, Werner. The services were very professionally delivered and we could not speak more highly of Kylie and her team who do a difficult job with empathy and dignity. As our loved ones age, it can be a daunting task to keep them at home for as long as possible and some outside care keeps them at home longer which is what they much prefer. We have just needed to move Werner into Jindalee Nursing Home but there is no doubt Nurse Next Door enabled this to be delayed as long as possible. We have no hesitation in recommending Nurse Next Door to any family in similar circumstances to ours.
Gary Green
We have been with Nurse Next Door for 2 years since they were able to bring Mum home from hospital after a fall during the Covid Lockdowns. They have become more than carers (although they are a help with some of her housework) they are now friends. They chat with her and take her places which she loves, even getting up early to take her to the balloons! As I am in Melbourne it is a great comfort to know there is someone there with her everyday.
