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.

“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.”

Donna Humphrey
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 cannot thank Anna enough for the incredible care and support she gave during my recovery after leaving hospital.
Gary Cox
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.
