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
This year my father found himself in the situation of needing care at home for wound management, but also general care needs around the home. Nurse Next Door were available immediately to fill these gaps, while remaining flexible with his reoccurring hospital presentations, they were always professional and caring. Communication was exceptional particularly in a very stressful time for us as a family. Have already recommended them, and send them a big thank you. My father has passed away now, but they made a stressful year that bit easier. Many thanks again

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.

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

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! 🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷
