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
Just want to express my heart felt thanks for my wonderful A TEAM/MY NURSES AND CARERS /THE AWESOME MANAGEMENT TEAM The care we receive goes above and beyond their work expectations. They really make us feel much happier after they been to see us
Christine Griffiths
I am a full-time carer for my mum and have been for the last four years. I made the decision to change to Nurses Next Door Rockhampton after a bad experience with our previous company, and it has been the best decision I have ever made. The office staff made transitioning easy and comfortable—they are so welcoming and caring, and nothing is too much. The ladies in the office are bubbly and have made a really difficult time in mine and my mum’s life a lot easier. The RN who visits our home comes in with a big smile and bubbly personality, making even a bad day so much better. They go above and beyond to ensure the client and family have everything they need—they genuinely care about both the client and their family. I no longer feel invisible. The support workers I have met are amazing. They are caring, happy to be in your company, and always willing to help make life easier for the client and Family members. Thanks to them, my mum has regained her independence. The team at Nurses Next Door has helped me be a daughter to my mum again, which I never thought was possible. You’ve given both of us our smiles back—we finally get to be happy and make memories together. If you choose Nurses Next Door Rockhampton as your support company, you won’t regret it. Thank you to all the lovely ladies on the team, from the bottom of my heart—from a very grateful daughter.
