How we can help
Who performs the wound care?
Basic wound care can be performed by our qualified caregivers with the oversight from the Care designer. All complex wound care and wound management is performed by our qualified Registered Nurses (RNs) or Enrolled Nurses (ENs). They are currently registered with AHPRA and trained in strict aseptic techniques and infection control to ensure your safety.
Do I need to buy my own dressings?
Not necessarily. We can work with the supplies you already have, or coordinate directly with your pharmacy to have the right clinical dressings and bandages delivered to your home. Our nurses also assess your wound at every visit to make sure the products being used are supporting healing.
Can you treat diabetic wounds?
Yes. We have specialised experience in diabetic wound management, including diabetic foot ulcers. Our nurses take a holistic approach, treating the wound itself while also monitoring blood glucose levels and providing education to help prevent future complications.
Do I need a referral to book this service?
No, you can book our nurse led team privately without a referral. For complex wounds, we will ask for discharge summaries or care plans from your doctor, so we can collaborate with your GP and keep your clinical care consistent.

Nurse Next Door have made it so much easier for me coping and coming to terms with an SPC and also providing me with excellent guidance on how to care and maintain my SPC when I am home alone. The Care Designer RN made me recognise that I do need to use a walker especially when I am walking longer distances and places I am not familiar with. They have made me comes to terms with it and have given me incentive and empowered me to start walking again using a walker because I love going for my walks. Thank you Nurse Next Door for being there for me. I wouldn't have been able to achieve my independence like I have without your help P.S And they always make me have a good laugh! They do say laughter is the best medicine
