Wound care in Hobart East:
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.

I have a brother that was discharged from hospital in January 2026. My brother being on the NDIS. Nurse next door have been so professional with their Supports. Nothing was a problem, always giving me updates and because of the quick and prompt responses it was easy to iron out issues that popped up. I have felt very comfortable knowing he is supported. My brother has liked and felt very comfortable with all the staff. This is big as he is a gentleman that prior to hospital lived by himself for many years and is very routine focussed. To have Support staff sleeping over night in is home was huge. I feel very grateful for their services, the overnights are not need now but still having support during the day. I can not speak more highly of the company. Well done!

Nurse Next Door East provides exceptional care and support and goes above and beyond to provide outstanding care for my loved one. My uncle is not just a client but a person who has interests, family life, connections to the community and Nurse Next Door East ensures that he can still enjoy life with their support. Nurse Next Door East provides a wholistic approach not only supports in the home but also with health. Petra and Sarah are both nurses and it is reassuring for me to know if my uncle is unwell the carers will flag this with Petra and Sarah then a follow up visit is done. I live 2.5 hours away so this gives me peace of mind. Communication is honest and super prompt and it doesnt matter what time of the day I contact, I will always get a very prompt reply or phonecall. Nurse Next Door East not only supports our loved ones needing care but also the family. Words cannot express how how appreciative and happy we are that you are all involved in our lives. My uncle has a fabulous team around him to ensure he can live his best life. Thank you for what you do and who you are.

We have recently changed my Dad's care arrangements to the Nurse Next Door. This is the best thing we have done for him. The care he gets from the team of carers is fantastic. From the first consultation to the weekly schedule and updates in his care, we could not ask for a more professional service. The communication is fantastic, the care is consistent and his house feels clean. But most of all my Dad is happy, he actually looks forward to his carers coming now. The Nurse Next Door has gone over and above to accommodate all of Dads needs. I can highly recommend The Nurse Next Door for anyone wanting professional and compassionate care for their family.
