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.

NND Canterbury are amazing. All my previous providers had a transactional approach to finding carers for us. Since meeting Wil and Winnie from NND, we are grateful that they listen and go out of their way to ensure we have the right people for us, and connecting with us regularly. I'm very happy !

Michelle Agar
My 90 year old dad suffered a fracture in his neck and after a stay in a rehabilitation hospital he was able to come home thanks to the wonderful care and services provided by Nurse Next Door. Thanks to the thorough organisation and planning and with client consultation with Winnie and Will, dad’s transition back to home was a smooth one. Nurse Next Door risk assessed my parents’ house and were able to provide mobility aids and make sure that regular activities like showering were easier and safer for dad. They even counted how many steps he would have to take from, for example, the bed to the bathroom. The entire family has benefitted from the stellar people from Nurse Next Door who have come into dad’s life at a critical time and we are so appreciative. Even mum has had help with household chores and shopping. We have seen mum and dad grow in confidence with the knowledge that they are getting expert, professional and ethical care. The staff are highly trained. Most are fully qualified registered nurses and this is a stand out feature of Nurse Next Door because their medical knowledge and understanding has meant that dad’s neck brace, for example, can be taken on and off in the correct manner and without further injury. Nurse at home listens to clients and their needs and requests and are very accommodating. There is genuine kindness and compassion. Their caring approach and their positive encouragement make a huge difference. Special thanks goes to Winnie, Francine, Roselle, Belinda, Butch and Darren. They are outstanding people.
