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.

After a while in hospital I returned home and needed assistance doing everything and Agnes and her staff were more than helpful for up to 6hrs a day for the first 2 weeks and continued on decreasing the hours up till now. I am more than grateful for the service I have received and I would recommend Agnes to anyone needing care.

Agnes is so happy and very caring, also very passionate about her work. Agnes has been a huge inspiration for me as I feel safe, confiding in her for any health concerns I may be experiencing with my catheter, also new ways for my self esteem to improve the best possible outcomes for me. I am so grateful to have the Nurse Next Door team looking after my health care needs and taking time to talk to me about my health and any concerns I may have.

Agnes and her team helped my father and me as he battled a very aggressive degenerative disease. After going through all the bureaucracy of MyAgedCare and other government departments, it was so much easier to get going with Agnes and the carer who worked with us. They were very attentive to any issues, and reassured us along the way. I very much recommend Nurse Next Door Coffs Harbour, would go with them again in a heartbeat.

I recently had the sad experience of visiting a friend who was receiving end of life care from "Nurse Next Door" in Woolgoolga. Agnes and her team of amazing carers went way beyond what I myself could ever provide someone in this situation. The care and patience given to my friend was something I will never forget. If you have anyone who needs special care for a loved one I cannot recommend these wonderful people enough. Thank you to every one of those who cared for Carmen. Judy McLachlan
