How we can help
Can you provide medical pain relief?
Yes. Our team includes qualified Registered Nurses who can administer pain relief injections, manage pumps or syringe drivers, and coordinate with your palliative care team or GP to keep symptoms well controlled.
How quickly can services start?
We understand that time is often short. We can usually arrange a consultation and begin care within 24 hours (or sooner in urgent situations). We handle the logistics so you can focus on your loved one.
Do you work with the hospital palliative care team?
Yes. We work collaboratively with community palliative care teams, hospices and GPs. We act as the eyes and ears in the home, updating the medical team on any changes in condition to ensure seamless care.
Is this service only for the final days?
No. Palliative care can begin at any stage of a life limiting illness, well before end of life care is needed. We support families for months or even years, helping manage day-to-day comfort, dignity and quality of life, including overnight and 24-hour support when required.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
Top shelf support from the incredible team at NND. It has made our time more enjoyable supporting our parents in their home. Thank you all.

Nurse next door is an excellent company. They not only give the highest quality of care but match the nurse with the clients needs and personality ensuring they provide not physical care but also emotional support. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care of any kind.
Lisa Montgomery
I changed to nurse next door as previous provider could not supply the same person or consistent time. Many times no one came. I was expecting that this would be the case for other providers . Not so with Nurse next door Tecoma. We now have a nurse driven service ( not all of them are) able to supply consistent carers at the same time each day. An RN came and did the initial assessment of the home and my friends needs. That did not happen previously, it was done over the phone. Not only that their RN’s have driven quality care, making suggestions that transformed our lives. I am an RN myself and l am so impressed with the service. I should have changed ages ago. I am no longer burnt out, feel totally supported and just want to shout out to the whole world, nurse next door is amazing . Thank you guys you saved me and my friend. So much appreciation going your way!!

I can highly recommend these wonderful people. They are very caring, knowledgeable, skilled nurses. Happy to help in anyway they can. We were floundering when mother-in-law came into our care but Michelle and her crew have been great and sorted us out to a large extent. Chris Atkins

Nurses next Door was an amazing service. Debbie provided that extra time with us to understand our grandson's needs which meant a lot to us. Nurses next door provided a very professional service. As a parent, you always feel that no one can look after your child as well as you. Debbie and her team showed so much care towards the job of looking after my grandson that it helped put my mind and heart at ease. Thank you so much :)

We had a date and time booked and the nurse arrived on time, performed the nursing task quickly and efficiently. The reminder we received on the weekend prior so we knew we were definitely booked in was excellent. Great company providing an excellent nursing service.
Maria Hartigan
This service is just amazing and we are so grateful and happy we found it! We needed some after surgery nursing care, to be provided in our home as we couldn't get out to the hospital, with the care and expertise expected from a hospital service. Our nurse, Michelle, was absolutely wonderful and a ray of light during such a difficult time. She is very friendly, approachable and knew exactly what she was doing. We were very impressed with the whole service, from first contact with the Intake Centre to the ongoing care provided by Michelle. The care and compassion across the entire service was amazing. When we had an issue getting help Nurse Next Door was there for us, thank you!

MaxineF1 F
The nursing team at Nurse Next Door are friendly, helpful and professional in caring for me. I have confidence in them and know they will be there for me when I need medical assistance. I am on the government End of Life Pathway Program for people who have less than 3 months left to live. Nurse Next Door has spent time getting to know me and my wife personally to ensure they know our requirements and anticipate what future needs we may have. They have also offered to assist us in many other ways as I am be cared for in my home. This takes a big burden off of our shoulders to know that we are well supported in difficult times.
Dennis Hirschfield
I have been with NND for a few years now. So accommodating, professional, caring and friendly. I have dealt with others and they are the most organized.
