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.

Carla Villella
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!
