How we can help
Who performs the wound care?
Basic wound care can be performed by our qualified caregivers with the oversight from the Care designer. All complex wound care and wound management is performed by our qualified Registered Nurses (RNs) or Enrolled Nurses (ENs). They are currently registered with AHPRA and trained in strict aseptic techniques and infection control to ensure your safety.
Do I need to buy my own dressings?
Not necessarily. We can work with the supplies you already have, or coordinate directly with your pharmacy to have the right clinical dressings and bandages delivered to your home. Our nurses also assess your wound at every visit to make sure the products being used are supporting healing.
Can you treat diabetic wounds?
Yes. We have specialised experience in diabetic wound management, including diabetic foot ulcers. Our nurses take a holistic approach, treating the wound itself while also monitoring blood glucose levels and providing education to help prevent future complications.
Do I need a referral to book this service?
No, you can book our nurse led team privately without a referral. For complex wounds, we will ask for discharge summaries or care plans from your doctor, so we can collaborate with your GP and keep your clinical care consistent.

From their Management team To their Key Nurses And not forgetting their wonderful carers, my daily needs are always met!! Thanks Nurses Next Door!

Rev and her team are amazing! I cannot thank them enough for the kindness, consideration and care they show - everyone goes above and beyond and they make a huge difference! They have a very challenging role but everyone from NND approaches their work with a smile and good humour. Special thanks to Ezra, Vicky, Peter, Pinky and Ken, you have all been so wonderful to my family and we feel lucky to have had you as part of our team :)

Rev and the team, I’m not even sure how to put into words how helpful they were through what was a very hard time. My family were in crisis and I needed to organise 24/7 supervision in a matter of a few days. Rev gave me peace of mind and become a supportive partner in this journey and I am completely grateful. The nurse that came was kind and caring and exactly what we needed during this tough time. Thank you!

I've had Nurse Next Door Home care services with me in the last 6 years . I suffer with MS & having this company provides me with excellent support nurses & carers really brings me happiness & relief. They physically, mentally, emotionally help me face my days, get me up , showered & motivated. The ladies are all so lovely & really show tender, loving, respect & care. The Management team have really supported me too in times of need. Overall I've been truly blessed with a great company 💓

Rev, Glenn and the team at Nurse Next Door have literally SAVED us! They have been the very best to work with - providing excellent staff for my severely disabled and chronically unwell brother. Even more importantly, they are not just nice when things are going well, but take action and make changes when things are not working out. I am very picky, and my brother needs 24/7 high intensity care, and I cannot recommend Revital at Nurse Next Door highly enough. She's the best of the best.

When my mother was rendered incapable after some mini-strokes, and before she could be moved into full-time care, we used the services of Nurse Next Door to provide 24 hour nursing at home. We were delighted with both the quality of care they provided, and in their organisation and administration. They claim to provide "peace of mind" and in my experience they did exactly that. I can whole-heartedly recommend them.
