How we can help
Will I have the same caregiver every time?
Consistency is vital for personal care. We build a small, dedicated team around you so you are always supported by familiar faces. This ensures you build a professional, trusting relationship and never have to explain your routine to a stranger.
Can I request a male or female caregiver
Yes. Tell us your preference at your Caring Consult, and we'll match you with a caregiver who puts you at ease.
Do I need special equipment?
Not always, but your safety always comes first. Our Registered Nurse or Care Designer can assess your bathroom and recommend equipment, such as a shower chair, grab rail or raised toilet seat, to help reduce the risk of falls.
Can I book personal care just for the mornings?
Yes. Our support is fully flexible to suit your lifestyle. Many clients book a specific "Morning Routine" visit (e.g., 2 hours) to assist with showering, dressing, and breakfast, allowing them to start their day safely and independently.

Nurse next door are exceptional care givers, offering brilliant attention to all in need of care and case management. I cannot rate them more highly for their dedication to both client's and their family members. My sister is receiving expert care and attention by the Nurse Next Door team members Mary and Lilly under the fabulous guidance of Bayside Director, Sacha Biesse. I simply cannot say any more than that! 100% caring 100% on time 100% helpful Sandra Tomlinson - Hampton Victoria

How can I ever thank your company enough. A last minute trip to Melbourne, Nurse next door came to our rescue and were able to accommodate for our son, at the last minute (my fault). I have never used an agency before for my son A seamless, caring and professional service. Nothing was ever too hard. From the initial phone call, through to the accounts, it was so easy and faultless. Our nurse was so caring and professional, she made my son happy and safe. Thank you!! Our trip would have been a nightmare without you.

Nurse next door have been so easy to deal with from the first phone call when we were in desperate need and have continued to provide the same standard of care months on. The carer provided is the perfect match for my Dad and is always interested in listening to what dad has to say, she is so helpful and caring in all aspects. I can also say that about any temporary replacement carers that have been used as well. There were a few hiccups with our home care provided and Nurse next door dealt with all that as well. I would highly recommend NND to anyone needing care for the elderly loved ones.

Cowen Family
My dear 43-years-old, NDIS pensioner son, has been a client of Nurse Next Door (NND) in Melbourne CBD since 2021. NND has been a wonderful care agency for him in that time. The different NND Carers he has had in these 3 years have generally been excellent for him — On time, disciplined, hard-working, interested, sensitive, supportive, and friendly. NND managers and administrative staff have also been very efficient, effective and most helpful, supportive and respectful in their interactions with us, particularly in their planning, organising, and clear and frequent communication. I highly recommend NND to other people in Melbourne (and elsewhere in Victoria) who may need excellent welfare care for themselves, or family members or friends, in future !
