How we can help
What is the difference between prompting and administering?
Prompting is when a caregiver provides a friendly reminder that it is time for medication and hands you your pharmacy-packed aid (like a Webster-pak) to take yourself. Administering is where a qualified caregiver or Nurse physically prepares and gives you the medication (including injections, creams, or loose tablets) and observes you taking it. We offer both levels of support depending on your needs.
Can your staff give injections?
Yes, in many cases. Straightforward injections, such as fixed dose or single dose insulin, may be given by a qualified caregiver. More complex injections, including sliding scale insulin and other clinical injections, are carried out by our Registered Nurses or Enrolled Nurses.
Is this covered by the Support at Home Program?
Yes. Medication administration by a nurse typically falls under the Clinical Care funding classification. Your Care Designer will help you budget for these visits to ensure your health needs are prioritised within your funding level.
Do I need a Webster-pak?
No, you are not required to have a Webster pack. We can support medication administration directly from the original packaging. However, to help you maintain independence and ensure medications are taken safely and consistently, pharmacy-packed aids such as a Webster pack or sachets may be beneficial.
What happens if my doctor changes my dosage?
We take care of it for you. If your medication changes, our clinical team liaises directly with your GP and pharmacist to update your medication chart and make sure your packs are repacked or updated straight away, so your routine stays accurate without you having to chase anything up.

Nurses next Door was an amazing service. Debbie provided that extra time with us to understand our grandson's needs which meant a lot to us. Nurses next door provided a very professional service. As a parent, you always feel that no one can look after your child as well as you. Debbie and her team showed so much care towards the job of looking after my grandson that it helped put my mind and heart at ease. Thank you so much :)

Debbie from Nurses Next Door is just lovely. Very kind, patient and understanding. She had gone out of her way to help me and make me feel comfortable as well as help with things that my support coordinator could be doing. She has contacted my GP herself for prescriptions and followed up on other needs.

The nursing team at Nurse Next Door are friendly, helpful and professional in caring for me. I have confidence in them and know they will be there for me when I need medical assistance. I am on the government End of Life Pathway Program for people who have less than 3 months left to live. Nurse Next Door has spent time getting to know me and my wife personally to ensure they know our requirements and anticipate what future needs we may have. They have also offered to assist us in many other ways as I am be cared for in my home. This takes a big burden off of our shoulders to know that we are well supported in difficult times.
Dennis Hirschfield
This service is just amazing and we are so grateful and happy we found it! We needed some after surgery nursing care, to be provided in our home as we couldn't get out to the hospital, with the care and expertise expected from a hospital service. Our nurse, Michelle, was absolutely wonderful and a ray of light during such a difficult time. She is very friendly, approachable and knew exactly what she was doing. We were very impressed with the whole service, from first contact with the Intake Centre to the ongoing care provided by Michelle. The care and compassion across the entire service was amazing. When we had an issue getting help Nurse Next Door was there for us, thank you!
