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
We have only just begun our aged care journey. Just before I stumbled across Nurse Next Door it felt as though I’d been shopping for a used car with care factor 0, no understanding of situation, just number crunching with little human element and endless call backs chasing me for the business with no care felt whatsoever. Kylie was my first contact and she was highly professional, empathetic/understanding and totally accommodating to our situation. She revealed a little of the back story behind the business and what twins, Michelle & Nicole, are doing to provide a service to our local community like they do is noticed and appreciated! Omg am I so glad I found you. Thanks for showing up in my parent’s time of need. It’s early days but we already feel completely supported and heard. Keep up the pink! 🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷

I couldn’t recommend Nurse next door more highly. My daughter has very complex high care needs and they were so helpful filling shifts for us at quite short notice with fully qualified registered nurses. The nurses were fantastic and very experienced. Looking forward to working with them again. Catherine McCann

Nurse Next Door Home Care Services has been a wonderful inclusion and integral part of my mother's goals to remain independent in her own house while she works through her medical condition. The team of nurses lead by Cheryl have been amazing both professionally and personally. Updates and reviews have been instrumental in being able to address events in real time all without having to worry or stress my mother. Now having been backed by NDIS funding we are able to have more support from the team to help my mothers journey for independence and normality.
