How we can help
What is the difference between prompting and administering?
Prompting is when a caregiver provides a friendly reminder that it is time for medication and hands you your pharmacy-packed aid (like a Webster-pak) to take yourself. Administering is where a qualified caregiver or Nurse physically prepares and gives you the medication (including injections, creams, or loose tablets) and observes you taking it. We offer both levels of support depending on your needs.
Can your staff give injections?
Yes, in many cases. Straightforward injections, such as fixed dose or single dose insulin, may be given by a qualified caregiver. More complex injections, including sliding scale insulin and other clinical injections, are carried out by our Registered Nurses or Enrolled Nurses.
Is this covered by the Support at Home Program?
Yes. Medication administration by a nurse typically falls under the Clinical Care funding classification. Your Care Designer will help you budget for these visits to ensure your health needs are prioritised within your funding level.
Do I need a Webster-pak?
No, you are not required to have a Webster pack. We can support medication administration directly from the original packaging. However, to help you maintain independence and ensure medications are taken safely and consistently, pharmacy-packed aids such as a Webster pack or sachets may be beneficial.
What happens if my doctor changes my dosage?
We take care of it for you. If your medication changes, our clinical team liaises directly with your GP and pharmacist to update your medication chart and make sure your packs are repacked or updated straight away, so your routine stays accurate without you having to chase anything up.

I received an aged care package in January of this year. My daughter chose Nurse Next Door as my local provider. It was such an excellent choice. Andrew, one of the principals of Nurse Next Door is also my physio who comes to my place twice a week. His knowledge, care and advice is outstanding. I have had contact with at least 10 to 12 employees of Nurse Next Door. All these people display outstanding care, reliability and professionalism. If any person is looking for a reliable local provider, then I could not recommend any higher than Nurse Next Door. They are a thoroughly caring and professional organisation.

Our experience with mornington peninsula nurse next door has been exceptional. Following our initial meeting with Andrew Hosking we felt supported and listened to regarding our situation with My Aged Care. Andrew was extremely understanding when dealing with our complex situation his knowledge of the process was outstanding and our concerns were quickly and efficiently dealt with, what he could not answer he researched until he found the solution. A special thank you for the wonderful support and follow up with Ella Richardson providing the ongoing care. I would recommend Peninsula wNurse Next Door as a provider.
