How we can help
Is this different from a taxi?
Yes, significantly. Your caregiver assists you from your front door, into the car and to your destination, staying with you if you would like company, helping with mobility, and making sure you are settled safely back home afterwards.
Can you drive my car?
Yes. If you prefer your own vehicle, your caregiver can drive it provided it is comprehensively insured. Alternatively, they can use their own vehicle, which is fully insured for business use, and we can accommodate walkers and foldable wheelchairs.
Will you stay with me during the appointment?
That is entirely up to you. Many clients appreciate having a companion in the waiting room, or even during the consultation, for extra support. If you would rather have privacy, we can wait in the car or return to collect you at a set time.
Can we make multiple stops?
Yes. This is your time, so if you want to visit the doctor, stop at the chemist and grab a coffee on the way home, we are happy to accommodate your schedule.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
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.

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
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.
Cathy Devries
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
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.

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
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.

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
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
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.
Sofie MOnt
Our family is enormously grateful to Nurse Next Door, they swung into action, organising urgent care for a family member. Their people are very lovely, trustworthy & extremely capable. We have no hesitation is recommending their services.
K Hoop
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
Lovely staff members, caring and thoughtful.
Madelaine Cohen
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.
Anne T
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
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.
