How we can help
Is this "live-in" care or shift work?
We offer flexible models to suit your needs, including rotating shifts, sleepover and overnight care, so someone is always alert and available. If live in care, where one caregiver stays with you, sounds like a better fit, just call our local care team on 1300 600 247 and we'll help you find the right option for your situation.
Is this cheaper than a nursing home?
24/7 home care is a premium service because it offers a 1 to 1 carer ratio, compared to the 1 to 15 ratio often found in facilities. While it's a financial investment, it allows your loved one to keep their home, their pets and their independence, which many families find priceless.
Can I use my government funding (Support at Home or NDIS)?
Yes. While 24/7 care often requires a private contribution due to the high number of hours, we can fully utilise your Support at Home funding or NDIS budget to cover a significant portion of the costs. If you're still waiting on approval, or would simply like to start sooner, you're welcome to begin privately and switch across once your funding is in place. Your Care Designer will help you structure the budget to make the most of your available government funds and keep your out of pocket expense to a minimum.
How quickly can we start?
We can often organise a 24/7 care team within 24-48 hours. Because this service can be accessed privately, there are no government assessments or waiting lists to navigate before we begin.
What if a caregiver calls in sick?
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a managed provider like ours is reliability. We have a large team of staff and support available around the clock, so if a regular caregiver is unwell, we'll arrange a replacement as quickly as possible and make sure you're never left without care.
Can we book this for short-term respite?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 care for short periods, such as post-operative recovery or while family caregivers go on holiday. You do not need to sign a long-term contract.

Nurse Next Door are true to their word, " Our Talent is Caring' I was in need of assistance with a fragile and complex situation and Nurse Next Door was prompt and at my front door with a positiveness, trustworthiness, a smile and a caring nature . Their methodology, integrity and professionalism ensured that the most fragile and complex situation was not too difficult or out of their scope. Nurse Next Door are skilled, competent, knowledgeable, and resourceful people. The friendly nurses listened, were accommodating, caring, kind and humble; in turn we felt safe, confident and reassured that we were going to be in the hands of good people . The staff at Nurse Next Door presented a health plan and recommendations so that the best possible health outcome was achieved. Nurse Next Door; you have demonstrated good nursing practices. Thank you for preserving the faith of what it means to service community health outreach programs; servicing the isolated, the fragile and vulnerable citizens in the community. Nurse Next Door, you are wonder workers and you do us all proud!

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.

Aristides Kolliou
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 !
John Austin

Mum has had lovely women caring for her at home. I have felt confident in their care and looking after her while I was at work. She has liked them a lot as they chatted with her and did some washing or cleaning for us. I think they’ve been wonderful.
