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.

I have a brother that was discharged from hospital in January 2026. My brother being on the NDIS. Nurse next door have been so professional with their Supports. Nothing was a problem, always giving me updates and because of the quick and prompt responses it was easy to iron out issues that popped up. I have felt very comfortable knowing he is supported. My brother has liked and felt very comfortable with all the staff. This is big as he is a gentleman that prior to hospital lived by himself for many years and is very routine focussed. To have Support staff sleeping over night in is home was huge. I feel very grateful for their services, the overnights are not need now but still having support during the day. I can not speak more highly of the company. Well done!

Nurse Next Door East provides exceptional care and support and goes above and beyond to provide outstanding care for my loved one. My uncle is not just a client but a person who has interests, family life, connections to the community and Nurse Next Door East ensures that he can still enjoy life with their support. Nurse Next Door East provides a wholistic approach not only supports in the home but also with health. Petra and Sarah are both nurses and it is reassuring for me to know if my uncle is unwell the carers will flag this with Petra and Sarah then a follow up visit is done. I live 2.5 hours away so this gives me peace of mind. Communication is honest and super prompt and it doesnt matter what time of the day I contact, I will always get a very prompt reply or phonecall. Nurse Next Door East not only supports our loved ones needing care but also the family. Words cannot express how how appreciative and happy we are that you are all involved in our lives. My uncle has a fabulous team around him to ensure he can live his best life. Thank you for what you do and who you are.

We have recently changed my Dad's care arrangements to the Nurse Next Door. This is the best thing we have done for him. The care he gets from the team of carers is fantastic. From the first consultation to the weekly schedule and updates in his care, we could not ask for a more professional service. The communication is fantastic, the care is consistent and his house feels clean. But most of all my Dad is happy, he actually looks forward to his carers coming now. The Nurse Next Door has gone over and above to accommodate all of Dads needs. I can highly recommend The Nurse Next Door for anyone wanting professional and compassionate care for their family.
