How we can help
Do I need a referral or assessment to start?
No. You can access our services immediately without any external referrals or medical assessments. We simply conduct a free Caring Consult to understand your safety needs and preferences, and then we can start.
Can I book respite for just a few hours?
Yes. We offer fully flexible shifts. Whether you need three hours to go to the gym and run errands, or two weeks of 24/7 care while you go on holiday, we can build a roster that suits your lifestyle.
Is in-home respite better than a facility?
In home respite is often less disruptive and distressing. Your loved one stays in their own bed, keeps their own routine, and is surrounded by their own comforts while you get the break you need.
Can you support complex medical needs?
Absolutely. If your loved one requires medication management, wound care or mobility assistance, we can assign qualified nursing staff to ensure their needs are met just as safely as they would be in a clinical facility.

Cannot thank Nurse Next Door enough for their genuine care for my loved one. I am kept up to date and have experienced a high level of personal attention far beyond what i had expected. Magda and her team are very caring and professional.
Natalie Sadler
I would leave a 10-star review if I could! Magda's care and compassion along with her exceptional patient clinical care is of the highest standard. I highly recommend :)
Vanessa Patane
Extremely caring, attentive, always on time and just lovely people. You can really tell they are passionate about not only the physical but also the mental wellbeing of their patients. After spending a month in the Alfred hospital, they gave me the ability to move home with daily dressing changes, wound cleaning and checkups, and their care was by far the best I had received. Thank you for everything Anna, Magda and Sarah ❤️

“I recently had Nurse Next Door Home Care Services Macedon Ranges. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The home care & meals for one were prompt, professional, and the final product exceeded my expectations. I would definitely use this service again in the future and recommend it to others.”

How lucky are we? Anna has been looking after my Dad for a few months and he is very impressed ( he is hard to please) with the quality and professional care he receives. He really enjoys how caring Anna is with her lovely and friendly disposition. He feels safe when in her care whether showering at home or out shopping. As a family, we cannot recommend them highly enough.
