How we can help
How do you select your caregivers?
We use a rigorous screening process that focuses on personality as much as qualifications. We look for individuals who are passionate about Making Lives Better and then pair clients with caregivers who share similar interests and personalities.
Can I have the same caregiver every time?
Yes, consistency is our priority. We strive to provide a small, dedicated team of caregivers so you can build genuine relationships and trust.
Do you provide care for specific conditions like dementia?
Yes. Our caregivers are trained to support clients living with Alzheimer's, dementia and other age related conditions. We focus on ability rather than disability, creating a safe environment that adapts to changing needs.
I am looking for a job as a caregiver. Where do I apply?
We would love to hear from you. The "Book a Consult" form is intended for those seeking care, so if you are interested in a caregiving role, please visit our Careers Page to view our open positions and apply directly with our recruitment team.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
Nurse next door have been so easy to deal with from the first phone call when we were in desperate need and have continued to provide the same standard of care months on. The carer provided is the perfect match for my Dad and is always interested in listening to what dad has to say, she is so helpful and caring in all aspects. I can also say that about any temporary replacement carers that have been used as well. There were a few hiccups with our home care provided and Nurse next door dealt with all that as well. I would highly recommend NND to anyone needing care for the elderly loved ones.

How can I ever thank your company enough. A last minute trip to Melbourne, Nurse next door came to our rescue and were able to accommodate for our son, at the last minute (my fault). I have never used an agency before for my son A seamless, caring and professional service. Nothing was ever too hard. From the initial phone call, through to the accounts, it was so easy and faultless. Our nurse was so caring and professional, she made my son happy and safe. Thank you!! Our trip would have been a nightmare without you.

Mum has had lovely women caring for her at home. I have felt confident in their care and looking after her while I was at work. She has liked them a lot as they chatted with her and did some washing or cleaning for us. I think they’ve been wonderful.
