How we can help
How soon should I book post-operative care?
We recommend booking as soon as your surgery date is confirmed. This allows us to prepare your home and match the right team to your specific needs. However, we understand that medical schedules change, and we can often accommodate last-minute requests if your discharge date moves.
Do I need a Nurse or a Caregiver?
This depends on the complexity of your recovery. A caregiver is well suited to help with mobility, meals, hygiene and medication prompts. If you require injections, complex wound dressings or clinical monitoring, we will assign a registered nurse. Many clients combine both for complete support.
Is there a minimum booking time?
No, our service is flexible. You can book a Settle-in Service for just the day of discharge, or ongoing support for several weeks. There are no lock in contracts, so you can simply use the service until you regain your strength and independence.

Exceptional Care and Professionalism at Nurse Next Door We're incredibly grateful for the outstanding service provided by Nurse Next Door in caring for our elderly parents. From our initial consultation to ongoing support, their team has been consistently professional, compassionate, and attentive to our parents' needs. In particular, we would like to commend Miss Shalini and Imrana for their exceptional dedication and care. Their professionalism and genuine concern for our parents' well-being have been truly remarkable. They have not only provided excellent care but have also built a trusting and respectful relationship with our family. Compared to other Home care providers we have experienced, Nurse Next Door stands out for their superior service and surprisingly competitive pricing. We have found their level of care to be unmatched, offering peace of mind and genuine support. We wholeheartedly recommend Nurse Next Door to anyone seeking high-quality and affordable Home care services. Their commitment to their clients is evident in every interaction, and we are so thankful for the positive impact they have had on our parents' lives. Keep up the great Work

Amazing service and care from Shalini and the team. They are so friendly, great communication and have amazing compassion and care with my son Ben. Without your support Ben's pressure wound would not be healing this quick. Thank you so much

Nurse Next Door has been a game-changer for me. They help with personal care, social outings, and appointments, making my life so much easier and more enjoyable. Their carers, like Kathy, Shalini, Eugene, and Lily, are absolute legends. They’re professional, kind, and feel more like family than carers. Each brings unique skills and a special touch to their care, and I feel so lucky to have them on my team. I only wish I’d found this company sooner! Nurse Next Door also picks up on my mood when I am down asking me simple, thoughtful questions about how I’m doing or what’s been happening. They make appointments much more comfortable and relaxed, which I really appreciate. As an added bonus, their support gives my mum, who’s my aging carer, a much-needed break to recharge. My tip? Be open with your Nurse Next Door assignment person about what you need, and take time to meet different carers to find the right fit. Also, give them plenty of time to match you with the perfect carer. Share as much information as possible upfront—it really helps them provide the best care. And don’t forget to leave constructive feedback to help improve their service. All in all, Nurse Next Door is everything a person with a disability needs to live their best life, no matter the situation or place. Highly recommend.😁😁💜💜💜

Shalini from Nurse Next Door has been absolutely incredible in her role as a Diabetes Nurse Educator. Her dedication to client care, especially in ongoing diabetes monitoring, is truly commendable. She consistently responds quickly to any concerns, ensuring timely support and guidance. Her approach is not only professional but also deeply patient and compassionate, making clients feel heard and supported. Shalini’s expertise in diabetic education has made a significant impact, and her responsible, proactive attitude is a true asset to the team. We’re very fortunate to have her involved in our clients’ care.

Following my mother’s hospital admission, we were referred to Nurse Next Door by CaresGateway during a time of great uncertainty about her post-acute care and long-term support needs. From the very beginning, Shalini has gone above and beyond in every possible way. Not only has she provided exceptional nursing care, but she has also offered emotional support and genuine compassion to both my mother and our family. Shalini’s dedication has been instrumental in helping us navigate the complex aged care and community support systems — something we could not have done alone. Her professionalism, kindness, and tireless advocacy have made a profound difference in our lives. I cannot recommend Nurse Next Door — and especially Shalini — highly enough. We are deeply grateful for the outstanding care and guidance we've received. Lorraine, John and Family

We have used Nurse Next Door for our wound care needs. We are currently having a great experience. They have expectional bedside manner, very respectful, caring and understanding to both my elderly father and us (family/ carers). Great communication both with client and staff. Unlike other service providers and medical professionals they explain things in a way dad can understand without superiority or industry terms. Shalini, Imrana and team go over and above. I highly recommend.

I would like to share my positive experience with Nurse Next Door. Their team supported my Dementia Care and Support Program , facilitating sessions for carers of people that live with Dementia. What truly stands out is their genuine compassion and generosity towards participants. I also deeply appreciate their openness and inclusivity when supporting people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. Their approach shows cultural sensitivity, understanding, and a willingness to adapt to each person’s background and needs. Overall, Nurse Next Door has been a supporting partner to run my program sessions. I would confidently recommend their services to anyone seeking compassionate and inclusive support.

I was recently released from The Alfred Hospital and told that a community nursing member would visit my house and take care of my dressings. I am the recipient of a Hartmann Reversal (colostomy) and have very large wounds as a result. Three hours after returning home, a phone call informed me that I was on my own and no nursing staff would be coming to visit me. I did a google search to obtain the services of an at home nursing service and alighted upon Nurse Next Door. I phoned and the consultant was excellent. He listened as I voiced my needs and said that they will arrange an assessment consult for me asap. The lovely Shalini and her equally lovely colleague arrived at my house the next day and inspected my wound while discussing my needs. I was attended the very next day by a young man who showed equal passion as the ladies, towards best serving my needs. Carriage of self is important to me as I struggle to respect those that give off the impression that they would rather be anywhere but doing what they are doing. Then staff displayed rigid and effortless attention to what would best suit my needs and addressed them professionally. Thoroughly pleased with my choice to utilise this service. Thank you NND

I first had the pleasure to come in contact with the Nurse Next Door Werribee branch through my Motor Neurone Disease provider Lauryn Matheson following a stay in hospital with pneumonia and sepsis. I had the pleasure to meet with Shalini and Eugene in my home in June, whilst still in hospital at home care . My first impression of Shalini and Eugene was of the upmost respect , without a doubt I found Shalini Eugene of the highest professionalism, kindness , reliable and trustworthy and compassionate about their profession. Both Shalini and Eugene have taken me to many hospital appointments Scans and reviews to the thoracic team of doctors , including Northern health MND appointments. I have also had the pleasure to meet Lily who cleans my house fortunately as well as taken me to appointments. . A very lovely caring and respectful young lady . I am feeling grateful and blessed to have the Nurse Next Door in my Life . Thank you .

I highly recommend Nurse next Door Werribee. I needed to find an aged care company for my dad last year. They were so helpful in guiding dad and I through the process and what to expect I had no doubts to continue using their services. They're very professional, friendly and have great communication. My dad's carer is amazing and patient with dad I have high confidence leaving my dad in such good hands. Thank you to management Eugene, Sharlini and Melissa for looking after my dad so diligently. Can't thank you enough.
