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.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I hired the services of Nurse Next Door to be a "buddy" for my sister, to take her for a walk & coffee once per week. Their business works in a very courteous and professional manner, keeping me informed of any minor adjustments in their plan. So thank you very much Kristal and your team. Best of luck. Garry

Thank you to all the team for caring for my brother through late stage MND. Your staff were exceptional through an extremely difficult time for my brother and our family. We could not have asked for better care. I would highly recommend Kristal who went above and beyond for my brother and the family. Thank you again. We could not have gotten through without you. 🙏

Chris O'Brien
I was so relieved to find out about Nurses Next Door. It was the help I needed for my parents and having met Krystal and Oscar gave me peace of mind. Nurses next door can cover from nursing capabilities to disability and aged care. I came with specific requirements and they gave exactly what my parents needed - social care, company, and a lot of help from their doctor's appointments. I highly recommend Nurses Next Door and if you live in the North Shore area, Krystal and Oscar can provide you or your loved ones the best care.

Kristal and team are amazing! Their care, compassion & professionalism are second to none. We engaged their services following medical advice of additional care required for my Mum late last year and they could not have provided better support, care and guidance. Only regret is we wish we knew them earlier!
Belinda Mellis
Kristal & her Ku-Ring-Gai Nurse Next Door team have been absolutely amazing. From the first phone call to starting care was a seamless and easy process, the team swiftly started care and have never missed a beat. They have kept the family updated with all the stages and changes of my MIL and always make sure she is receiving the best care, support & love. I cannot recommend nurse next door enough! Their slogan really is true. “Our Talent is Caring”. Thank you Kristal x
