How we can help
What is the difference between a Caregiver and a Nurse?
A caregiver assists with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, meals and mobility, while a nurse (Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse) handles clinical tasks such as wound dressings, injections and catheter changes. Depending on your needs, we can provide one service or both.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book a nurse?
No. You can book a private nurse at home directly, with private nursing available, from single visits to overnight and 24 hour care, without needing a referral. Our nurses will still collaborate with your GP or specialist to keep your care aligned with your medical history.
Can you help after surgery?
Absolutely. We can arrange for a nurse or support worker to meet you at discharge, take you home, help you settle in, and provide clinical monitoring for the first critical 24 to 48 hours, so your pain is managed and you're safe during those vulnerable first few days.
Are your Nurses qualified?
Yes. We employ Registered and Enrolled Nurses who are currently registered with AHPRA, and every nurse undergoes background checks and clinical screening. Qualified caregivers are also on hand for everyday support.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
Nurse Next Door carers have been very professional and attentive to our requirements and we are very happy with the team of support workers provided by the service coordinator in our area.

It is hard to really describe just what a blessing Kristy's appearance in our lives was. I think many people will relate to the experience of thinking their parents are going along just fine and managing life to suddenly realize that they are not. Dad had been a central person in the extended family, making it his mission to look after everyone and help wherever he could. He'd been doing this for years and I think we all just felt he would go on forever. I was interstate and visiting regularly but probably always seeing him and mum at their best. It seemed a sudden decline when mum rang in tears to say that dad was struggling but in reality, it was a gradual decline over many months. Dad ultimately had a few weeks in hospital and then rehab. During this time, it became very obvious that in order for dad to come home he and mum were going to need help. This was a confronting prospect for a couple that had always managed everything on their own. Mum in particular is very private and quite shy and it was important to find someone with whom she in particular would feel comfortable sharing the very personal experience of caring for her husband. In my initial phone call to Kristy, I explained the situation and she understood immediately what I meant. From the moment she walked in the door to meet Mum and Dad it was so obvious she was perfect. With many years of experience nursing people at their most vulnerable, plus a good country upbringing, Kristy had incredible intuition, empathy and an ability to read people and situations. Mum was immediately, at ease and Dad was chatting away to her like she was a long-lost friend. These incredible personal qualities continued to shine through over the next few months. For both Mum and Dad Kristy became a trusted friend and helped both mum and Dad live their best lives together. Dad was always treated with great respect and kindness and endless patience. On the days when Kristy was not on duty, dad would tell us we were doing pretty well, but not as well as Kristy. This was always followed be a little chuckle. Kristy it was the small things you did that made the difference. Those cups of tea and coffee, taking the dog for a little walk when mum was too exhausted to manage and the long discussions about AFL with dad that just helped so much during such difficult times. You made our lives so much better. Leaders set the tone and culture of a community. Kristy's leadership is marked by compassion and humility and a real love for helping people. Her team at Nurse Next Door are lucky to have her and by example they too have the qualities that matter. We miss dad enormously but so grateful to you Kristy for all you did for him and mum. To anyone out there needing help, I can't recommend Kristy and her team highly enough.

Kristy and her team were absolutely incredible helping me to set up 24/7 Care in an extremely short period of time. The staff were so kind, caring and respectful. Brilliant service providing dignity and respect for a family friend. There are no words to describe how grateful I am for your help. Truly fabulous service. Would highly Recommend to anyone. I am a nurse myself. Would trust this team to care for me, My Family and friends. 🥰

When my husband Richard had a recent nasty fall and returned home the day of surgery I quickly realised he needed more help at home.I contacted Kristy, the Managing Director of Nurse Next Door (Geelong) for a free consultation. I felt straight away that I’d made the right choice. Kristy promptly put a plan into action. We had 3 support staff 3 times a week for 4 weeks. They supervised/assisted Richard with showering, shaving, dressing and waterproofing of his wound sites, prepared his breakfast, made the bed, tidied up and emptied the bins. Sunny even vacuumed the bedroom. Sunny, Jodie and Michelle were all respectful, friendly, capable and responsible. They always arrived on time and looked very smart in their pink outfits. The support given was invaluable to me. Well done Kristy and the team. I highly recommend Kristy and her team at Nurse Next Door.

My husband has required carers for personal care for the last six years we have been using Nurse Next Door since commencing in our area, Nurse Next Door Carers are the best he has had for their empathy knowledge and professionalism. Highly recommended
Faye Gray
I am so grateful to Kristy for her exceptional care and kindness to my darling mother. Kristy showed compassion, understanding and an absolute willingness to assist in ensuring Mum was able to spend her last days in our home and did not have to go into a nursing home - an absolute objective, and one which others made me feel was an unrealistic objective. Kristy never made me believe this was not possible. Kristy's nursing skills, in every sense - in practice, in listening and in caring - were exceptional. I had great trust and faith in Kristy and was also able to learn from observing her. Of greatest importance to me, Kristy treated my proud, loving and amazing mum, with great dignity. I will be forever grateful to Kristy and I'm not quite sure she will ever know how much her coming into our lives at exactly the time we needed her means to me and my family.

I had the privilege of working with some of the team from Nurse Next Door in the acute setting and now again in the community. Incredibly the team are able to transition hospital level care to very complex situations at home. It has been nothing but a positive experience and all of the clients I have worked with alongside Nurse Next Door have received top quality and patient focused care at home. Well done!
Zoe Linke
Nurse Next Door is a wonderful and much needed organization. Kristy and Rachel are both very easy to deal with and are quick to respond. A huge thank you and love especially to Sally, Mary, Amanda, Danni and Georgia who were always so caring and kind to me and to Spike and Missy. Thank you
Maria C
Dealing with Kristy has been efficient, timely and every question I have had has been answered without a hiccup. Care of our Mother is one of the most important and stressful things we have had to do as her children but we feel supported by Nurse next door to treat and care for her as we would, actually they are probably better at it than us. Mum has had Lily, Meg and Eva, coming in to care for her of the morning and she is noticeably happier and more comfortable for the day. I would highly recommend Nurse next door it has made a huge difference for Mum and for us.
Chris Haskins
