How we can help
Who performs the wound care?
Basic wound care can be performed by our qualified caregivers with the oversight from the Care designer. All complex wound care and wound management is performed by our qualified Registered Nurses (RNs) or Enrolled Nurses (ENs). They are currently registered with AHPRA and trained in strict aseptic techniques and infection control to ensure your safety.
Do I need to buy my own dressings?
Not necessarily. We can work with the supplies you already have, or coordinate directly with your pharmacy to have the right clinical dressings and bandages delivered to your home. Our nurses also assess your wound at every visit to make sure the products being used are supporting healing.
Can you treat diabetic wounds?
Yes. We have specialised experience in diabetic wound management, including diabetic foot ulcers. Our nurses take a holistic approach, treating the wound itself while also monitoring blood glucose levels and providing education to help prevent future complications.
Do I need a referral to book this service?
No, you can book our nurse led team privately without a referral. For complex wounds, we will ask for discharge summaries or care plans from your doctor, so we can collaborate with your GP and keep your clinical care consistent.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
The nursing team at Nurse Next Door are friendly, helpful and professional in caring for me. I have confidence in them and know they will be there for me when I need medical assistance. I am on the government End of Life Pathway Program for people who have less than 3 months left to live. Nurse Next Door has spent time getting to know me and my wife personally to ensure they know our requirements and anticipate what future needs we may have. They have also offered to assist us in many other ways as I am be cared for in my home. This takes a big burden off of our shoulders to know that we are well supported in difficult times.

We had a date and time booked and the nurse arrived on time, performed the nursing task quickly and efficiently. The reminder we received on the weekend prior so we knew we were definitely booked in was excellent. Great company providing an excellent nursing service.
Maria Hartigan
Nurses next Door was an amazing service. Debbie provided that extra time with us to understand our grandson's needs which meant a lot to us. Nurses next door provided a very professional service. As a parent, you always feel that no one can look after your child as well as you. Debbie and her team showed so much care towards the job of looking after my grandson that it helped put my mind and heart at ease. Thank you so much :)

Debbie from Nurses Next Door is just lovely. Very kind, patient and understanding. She had gone out of her way to help me and make me feel comfortable as well as help with things that my support coordinator could be doing. She has contacted my GP herself for prescriptions and followed up on other needs.

It should be 10 stars not five. The nurses are so kind and helpful to my husband Peter who was looking after me for 4 years. He could not go past this company Nurse Next Door, these nurses that come to the house are are incredible, caring people. You could not choose any better caring company of nurses.
Jenny Brandon
The Nurses Next Door are always very professional and friendly and they provide a great service to me visiting on a second daily basis to dress my wounds
Penny Mifsud
I changed to nurse next door as previous provider could not supply the same person or consistent time. Many times no one came. I was expecting that this would be the case for other providers . Not so with Nurse next door Tecoma. We now have a nurse driven service ( not all of them are) able to supply consistent carers at the same time each day. An RN came and did the initial assessment of the home and my friends needs. That did not happen previously, it was done over the phone. Not only that their RN’s have driven quality care, making suggestions that transformed our lives. I am an RN myself and l am so impressed with the service. I should have changed ages ago. I am no longer burnt out, feel totally supported and just want to shout out to the whole world, nurse next door is amazing . Thank you guys you saved me and my friend. So much appreciation going your way!!
pauline klemm
My experience in the last 12 months has been absolutely wonderful! Glen and his dedicated team have looked after me even going the extra mile, to a point my carers felt like Family. The tendered to my needs as a Quadraplegic as I have high needs and they met my care needs 100%. I would not hesitate in recommending Nurses next door as they never let me down and always met my needs. Clinton Dickson

Chen and Shae have been amazing at sourcing workers for my constant last minute requests. The support workers I have interacted with have all been incredibly friendly and also greet you with a smile and a willingness to give it their all. I have tried other support worker companies and none of them have been able to provide me the flexibility that Nurse Next Door has. I have already recommended Nurse Next Door to my Support Coordinator and other allied health companies I use.
