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
Rev and her team are amazing! I cannot thank them enough for the kindness, consideration and care they show - everyone goes above and beyond and they make a huge difference! They have a very challenging role but everyone from NND approaches their work with a smile and good humour. Special thanks to Ezra, Vicky, Peter, Pinky and Ken, you have all been so wonderful to my family and we feel lucky to have had you as part of our team :)

Rev and the team, I’m not even sure how to put into words how helpful they were through what was a very hard time. My family were in crisis and I needed to organise 24/7 supervision in a matter of a few days. Rev gave me peace of mind and become a supportive partner in this journey and I am completely grateful. The nurse that came was kind and caring and exactly what we needed during this tough time. Thank you!

When my mother was rendered incapable after some mini-strokes, and before she could be moved into full-time care, we used the services of Nurse Next Door to provide 24 hour nursing at home. We were delighted with both the quality of care they provided, and in their organisation and administration. They claim to provide "peace of mind" and in my experience they did exactly that. I can whole-heartedly recommend them.

I’ve been a customer of Nurses Next door now for the last 2.5 year. I’m high needs as a Paramedic T4 client I need a lot of assistance daily. In that time they haven’t let me down. Glen and his wonderful team have always been reliable, addressing my needs and concerns! From their Management team To their Key Nurses And not forgetting their wonderful carers, my daily needs are always met!! Thanks Nurses Next Door!

The team at Nurse Next Door Melbourne South East are an amazing team of professionals that support with kindness and professionalism. Revital, Heather and the team go above and beyond, and their motto of Our Talent is Caring is more than a motto it is how they provide support.

Rev, Glenn and the team at Nurse Next Door have literally SAVED us! They have been the very best to work with - providing excellent staff for my severely disabled and chronically unwell brother. Even more importantly, they are not just nice when things are going well, but take action and make changes when things are not working out. I am very picky, and my brother needs 24/7 high intensity care, and I cannot recommend Revital at Nurse Next Door highly enough. She's the best of the best.
