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
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 !

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.
