How we can help
Is this "live-in" care or shift work?
We offer flexible models to suit your needs, including rotating shifts, sleepover and overnight care, so someone is always alert and available. If live in care, where one caregiver stays with you, sounds like a better fit, just call our local care team on 1300 600 247 and we'll help you find the right option for your situation.
Is this cheaper than a nursing home?
24/7 home care is a premium service because it offers a 1 to 1 carer ratio, compared to the 1 to 15 ratio often found in facilities. While it's a financial investment, it allows your loved one to keep their home, their pets and their independence, which many families find priceless.
Can I use my government funding (Support at Home or NDIS)?
Yes. While 24/7 care often requires a private contribution due to the high number of hours, we can fully utilise your Support at Home funding or NDIS budget to cover a significant portion of the costs. If you're still waiting on approval, or would simply like to start sooner, you're welcome to begin privately and switch across once your funding is in place. Your Care Designer will help you structure the budget to make the most of your available government funds and keep your out of pocket expense to a minimum.
How quickly can we start?
We can often organise a 24/7 care team within 24-48 hours. Because this service can be accessed privately, there are no government assessments or waiting lists to navigate before we begin.
What if a caregiver calls in sick?
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a managed provider like ours is reliability. We have a large team of staff and support available around the clock, so if a regular caregiver is unwell, we'll arrange a replacement as quickly as possible and make sure you're never left without care.
Can we book this for short-term respite?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 care for short periods, such as post-operative recovery or while family caregivers go on holiday. You do not need to sign a long-term contract.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nurse Next Door Townsville to support a number of NDIS participants, and my experience with their team has been consistently outstanding. They genuinely care about the people they work with, and that dedication shows in every interaction. The staff are well trained, professional, and compassionate, which makes a real difference in the quality of care delivered. Both participants and their representatives have expressed how happy they are with the services they receive, noting the reliability, respect, and personalised support provided.

I honestly can’t speak highly enough of the incredible team at Nurse Next Door. From the moment they started caring for my grandparents, they went above and beyond in every possible way. No task was ever too big or too small — their carers showed up every day with kindness, compassion, and a level of care that truly made them feel like part of our family. Behind the scenes, Erica and Brendan made everything so easy to manage — always available, always approachable, and genuinely invested in helping us navigate things. It’s rare to come across a team of people who care so deeply about what they do, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their loved ones.
Rachel Fabbro
The team from Nurse Next Door have been amazing in helping to support my husband Russell as we navigate through Russell's disability needs.. We can't fault their level of care, empathy and just honest to goodness kindness and understanding of his needs, frustrations and quest for improving quality of both our lives. Both Russell and I highly recommend this service.

Nurse Next Door is a valuable company for our aging population and district in general. This team employs experienced carers that, in my family's time of need, helped to facilitate a diagnosis that was crucial to our loved one. This enabled us to prepare treatment. Nurse Next Door are providers as well as carers, which makes the administration of care easier on the family. This is a relief when navigating the confusion involved with understanding what is available for the level of care required. Our family member was specifically diagnosed with a disease which ensured further funding was sourced so that they may stay at home to feel secure. Our experience was beautifully managed with this company. End of life care is a particularly challenging time for the people involved. Nurse Next Door were there every step of the way. I can't recommend or thank them enough. In memory of Mum XO

We have had an exceptionally positive experience with Nurse Next Door and cannot speak highly enough of the care provided to our daughter. Brendan, Erica, and the entire team consistently deliver a high standard of care, with genuine attention to every aspect of our daughter’s needs. The carers are professional, compassionate, and respectful, and they integrate seamlessly into our family home in a way that makes everyone feel supported and at ease. Communication has been outstanding. Brendan and Erica are efficient, approachable, and always just a message away if we have questions or need guidance. The staffing team is equally impressive — prompt, flexible, and incredibly accommodating. Even when changes are required at short notice, they always ensure care is covered, which has been invaluable for our family. We are deeply grateful for the ongoing support, reliability, and kindness shown to our daughter and to us as a family. The level of service and care provided has made a meaningful difference in our lives, and we cannot thank the team enough.
