How we can help
Is this different from a taxi?
Yes, significantly. Your caregiver assists you from your front door, into the car and to your destination, staying with you if you would like company, helping with mobility, and making sure you are settled safely back home afterwards.
Can you drive my car?
Yes. If you prefer your own vehicle, your caregiver can drive it provided it is comprehensively insured. Alternatively, they can use their own vehicle, which is fully insured for business use, and we can accommodate walkers and foldable wheelchairs.
Will you stay with me during the appointment?
That is entirely up to you. Many clients appreciate having a companion in the waiting room, or even during the consultation, for extra support. If you would rather have privacy, we can wait in the car or return to collect you at a set time.
Can we make multiple stops?
Yes. This is your time, so if you want to visit the doctor, stop at the chemist and grab a coffee on the way home, we are happy to accommodate your schedule.

Our family has used NND Newcastle for the last 3 years - whilst Mum was at home for in-home care and then into her transition to nursing home care. The care has been fantastic, it has enabled Mum in so many ways to continue to enjoy life whilst her abilities decline. Staff are warm, professional, adept at managing new situations and communicate back any concerns promptly. They have been our salvation knowing Mum has extra attention in facility care. Highly recommend.

★★★★★ Exceptional Care and Support - Nurse Next Door provided outstanding care for my client during her recovery, and I couldn't be more grateful for their professionalism and compassion. From the start, Jessica and her team were attentive, kind, and incredibly supportive. They went above and beyond to ensure the client's needs were met, and their approach made a difficult time so much easier to manage. Their team’s communication was excellent—they kept us informed every step of the way and made sure we felt confident and reassured throughout the process. My client was treated with such dignity and kindness, and it’s clear that this team truly cares about their clients. We’re so grateful for everything they did and will absolutely turn to Nurse Next Door again if we ever need nursing services in the future. I Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for professional and compassionate care!
