How we can help
Is this "live-in" care or shift work?
We offer flexible models to suit your needs, including rotating shifts, sleepover and overnight care, so someone is always alert and available. If live in care, where one caregiver stays with you, sounds like a better fit, just call our local care team on 1300 600 247 and we'll help you find the right option for your situation.
Is this cheaper than a nursing home?
24/7 home care is a premium service because it offers a 1 to 1 carer ratio, compared to the 1 to 15 ratio often found in facilities. While it's a financial investment, it allows your loved one to keep their home, their pets and their independence, which many families find priceless.
Can I use my government funding (Support at Home or NDIS)?
Yes. While 24/7 care often requires a private contribution due to the high number of hours, we can fully utilise your Support at Home funding or NDIS budget to cover a significant portion of the costs. If you're still waiting on approval, or would simply like to start sooner, you're welcome to begin privately and switch across once your funding is in place. Your Care Designer will help you structure the budget to make the most of your available government funds and keep your out of pocket expense to a minimum.
How quickly can we start?
We can often organise a 24/7 care team within 24-48 hours. Because this service can be accessed privately, there are no government assessments or waiting lists to navigate before we begin.
What if a caregiver calls in sick?
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a managed provider like ours is reliability. We have a large team of staff and support available around the clock, so if a regular caregiver is unwell, we'll arrange a replacement as quickly as possible and make sure you're never left without care.
Can we book this for short-term respite?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 care for short periods, such as post-operative recovery or while family caregivers go on holiday. You do not need to sign a long-term contract.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I have been with Nurse next door Mackay since returning home to Sarina a few months ago. Carers, Nurses and Administrators have been friendly and helpful while getting used to being in a wheelchair after my motorbike accident. I would recommend this business for its care and compassion for the client.

I have found Nurse Next Door (NND) very professional yet friendly to deal with. The support staff whom assist me in my daily tasks are wonderful and I have built some amazing relationships with them. Many of the support staff go above and beyond there tasks making each outing memorable and enjoyable. I am privileged to call many within NND close friends rather than staff or support as they are truly invested in their roles to look after, care and encourage clients. I would insist that anyone looking or needing support go with NND as I have never regretted my decision to do so over a year ago. I am not just a client, a number, or another file. I am apart of this wonderful Pink family
