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
Our experience with mornington peninsula nurse next door has been exceptional. Following our initial meeting with Andrew Hosking we felt supported and listened to regarding our situation with My Aged Care. Andrew was extremely understanding when dealing with our complex situation his knowledge of the process was outstanding and our concerns were quickly and efficiently dealt with, what he could not answer he researched until he found the solution. A special thank you for the wonderful support and follow up with Ella Richardson providing the ongoing care. I would recommend Peninsula wNurse Next Door as a provider.

I received an aged care package in January of this year. My daughter chose Nurse Next Door as my local provider. It was such an excellent choice. Andrew, one of the principals of Nurse Next Door is also my physio who comes to my place twice a week. His knowledge, care and advice is outstanding. I have had contact with at least 10 to 12 employees of Nurse Next Door. All these people display outstanding care, reliability and professionalism. If any person is looking for a reliable local provider, then I could not recommend any higher than Nurse Next Door. They are a thoroughly caring and professional organisation.
