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.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
We have been very impressed of the wonderful service and genuine care and support given to our elderly mother by Care Nurses, Shae and Vanessa from Nurse Next Door. I would highly recommend this Service to anyone in need of nursing care, who are professional and compassionate. Keep up the great work!

My dear 43-years-old, NDIS pensioner son, has been a client of Nurse Next Door (NND) in Melbourne CBD since 2021. NND has been a wonderful care agency for him in that time. The different NND Carers he has had in these 3 years have generally been excellent for him — On time, disciplined, hard-working, interested, sensitive, supportive, and friendly. NND managers and administrative staff have also been very efficient, effective and most helpful, supportive and respectful in their interactions with us, particularly in their planning, organising, and clear and frequent communication. I highly recommend NND to other people in Melbourne (and elsewhere in Victoria) who may need excellent welfare care for themselves, or family members or friends, in future !

Nurse Next Door are true to their word, " Our Talent is Caring' I was in need of assistance with a fragile and complex situation and Nurse Next Door was prompt and at my front door with a positiveness, trustworthiness, a smile and a caring nature . Their methodology, integrity and professionalism ensured that the most fragile and complex situation was not too difficult or out of their scope. Nurse Next Door are skilled, competent, knowledgeable, and resourceful people. The friendly nurses listened, were accommodating, caring, kind and humble; in turn we felt safe, confident and reassured that we were going to be in the hands of good people . The staff at Nurse Next Door presented a health plan and recommendations so that the best possible health outcome was achieved. Nurse Next Door; you have demonstrated good nursing practices. Thank you for preserving the faith of what it means to service community health outreach programs; servicing the isolated, the fragile and vulnerable citizens in the community. Nurse Next Door, you are wonder workers and you do us all proud!

Nurse next door have been so easy to deal with from the first phone call when we were in desperate need and have continued to provide the same standard of care months on. The carer provided is the perfect match for my Dad and is always interested in listening to what dad has to say, she is so helpful and caring in all aspects. I can also say that about any temporary replacement carers that have been used as well. There were a few hiccups with our home care provided and Nurse next door dealt with all that as well. I would highly recommend NND to anyone needing care for the elderly loved ones.

Nurse Next Door (in particular Ronnie and Heather) have become an integral part of my uncle's care whilst he is living at home. As a family, it has brought us great comfort knowing we can rely on the team at NND to be there for him whenever he needs. We cannot speak highly enough of you all - thank you for all you do..

Mum has had lovely women caring for her at home. I have felt confident in their care and looking after her while I was at work. She has liked them a lot as they chatted with her and did some washing or cleaning for us. I think they’ve been wonderful.

How can I ever thank your company enough. A last minute trip to Melbourne, Nurse next door came to our rescue and were able to accommodate for our son, at the last minute (my fault). I have never used an agency before for my son A seamless, caring and professional service. Nothing was ever too hard. From the initial phone call, through to the accounts, it was so easy and faultless. Our nurse was so caring and professional, she made my son happy and safe. Thank you!! Our trip would have been a nightmare without you.
