How we can help
Do you provide transport?
Yes. Your support worker drives you or travels with you to appointments, social visits, shopping and more, and can sit in at appointments to take notes so nothing is missed.
Is this just a taxi service?
No, it is much more. A taxi driver drops you at the kerb. Your caregiver assists you from your front door, helps you into the car, stays with you during the activity if you wish, helps with mobility or bathroom breaks, and makes sure you are settled safely back at home afterwards.
Can I go to evening events?
Yes. Our services are available 24/7, so if you want to attend a wedding, a concert or a family dinner in the evening, we can arrange support to get you there and back safely.
Will the caregiver stay with me?
That is entirely up to you. Some clients prefer their caregiver to stay with them for company and conversation throughout the activity. Others prefer to be dropped off and collected again at a set time. We adapt to your preference.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
How can I ever thank your company enough. A last minute trip to Melbourne, Nurse next door came to our rescue and were able to accommodate for our son, at the last minute (my fault). I have never used an agency before for my son A seamless, caring and professional service. Nothing was ever too hard. From the initial phone call, through to the accounts, it was so easy and faultless. Our nurse was so caring and professional, she made my son happy and safe. Thank you!! Our trip would have been a nightmare without you.

Nurse Next Door (in particular Ronnie and Heather) have become an integral part of my uncle's care whilst he is living at home. As a family, it has brought us great comfort knowing we can rely on the team at NND to be there for him whenever he needs. We cannot speak highly enough of you all - thank you for all you do..
Anna Cornell
I have used this service on a number of occasions for my Mum. I can highly recommend them. They are professional yet personable, dependable and accommodating. The staff are really wonderful with her, making cups of tea to hand massages, nothing seems too much trouble. Love this company!
Fran Hodge
My dear 43-years-old, NDIS pensioner son, has been a client of Nurse Next Door (NND) in Melbourne CBD since 2021. NND has been a wonderful care agency for him in that time. The different NND Carers he has had in these 3 years have generally been excellent for him — On time, disciplined, hard-working, interested, sensitive, supportive, and friendly. NND managers and administrative staff have also been very efficient, effective and most helpful, supportive and respectful in their interactions with us, particularly in their planning, organising, and clear and frequent communication. I highly recommend NND to other people in Melbourne (and elsewhere in Victoria) who may need excellent welfare care for themselves, or family members or friends, in future !

NND gave me excellent support to attend a treatment when I travelled from interstate. Thank you!

Fabulous company that I cannot recommend highly enough. I have used them both in WA and Victoria for NDIS care and the standard across both has been the same.

Nurse Next Door went above and beyond what is generally provided by home care agencies. The care staff are of high quality and receive very good supervision from management making NND a great choice for people with complex support needs.
Jane Adams
Nurse next door have been so easy to deal with from the first phone call when we were in desperate need and have continued to provide the same standard of care months on. The carer provided is the perfect match for my Dad and is always interested in listening to what dad has to say, she is so helpful and caring in all aspects. I can also say that about any temporary replacement carers that have been used as well. There were a few hiccups with our home care provided and Nurse next door dealt with all that as well. I would highly recommend NND to anyone needing care for the elderly loved ones.
