How we can help
Do you cook in my home or bring the food?
We cook directly in your kitchen. This means every meal is fresh, hot and prepared exactly how you like it, and unlike frozen delivery services, you keep full control over the ingredients and flavours.
Can you cater to specific medical diets?
Yes. We often support clients with specific needs such as diabetes management, diets for heart health or texture modified diets for those with swallowing difficulties. We can follow instructions from your GP or Dietitian strictly.
Do you do the cleaning up?
Yes. We leave your kitchen spotless, washing the dishes, wiping down the benches and packing away any leftovers, so you can simply relax after your meal.
Can I go shopping with the caregiver?
Yes, we encourage it. Going to the supermarket or the local market is a great way to stay active. We can drive you there, help carry the bags and assist with unpacking at home.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
Cannot speak highly enough of the Nurse Next Door team. Nurse next door has provided engaged and pro-active care for our Mum. We are so pleased to have finally found an organisation that is responsive and has great staff that engage well with our Mum, and who actually identify issues rather than us having to chase things up. The whole aim is to ensure Mum can stay at home for as long as possible and Nurse Next Door makes that a lot more possible, and gives us (daughters) more comfort.

Glenn Parkins
We are very grateful for the support and care we have received. The Melbourne North team have been professional, compassionate, and understanding throughout our journey. They have shown great patience while we adjusted to accepting the need for support, always respecting the pace at which support was accepted and encouraging independence. Their assistance has made a real positive difference in our lives, and we recommend their services.

Mehmet Altikulac
Exceptional care! After my mother-in-law had a stroke, Dee and Shanna from the leadership team visited us right in the hospital to organize a home care plan. My MIL is a fiercely independent woman in her 80s, and we expected her to resist care entirely. Instead, the caregivers were incredibly lovely, thoughtful, and encouraging. Having Registered Nurses oversee everything gave our family total peace of mind. We cannot recommend Nurse Next Door Melbourne North more. Thank you for everything!
Nikita Elliott
We have been using nurse next door for my grandparents. The combination of general care and nursing trained staff ensures high quality care. Communication has been excellent. Danielle has been a pleasure to work with.
James Maino
After major surgery, my husband required dressing changes, and some monitoring, so we were lucky enough to get a suggestion that Nurse Next Door could help. We were so lucky to have them on board. The nurses we saw were truly wonderful. Very kind and knowledgeable. Nothing was any trouble. I would highly recommend Nurse Next Door. P.S. Keep your eye out for the little pink cars zipping about, give them a wave..they would appreciate that. X0
Barb Elder
Just like the name suggests they are like your neighbours next door. When you need a helping hand they will be there caring for you. I had the pleasure of meeting Shanna and Sheenal. Both of them are professionals and is pleasant dealing with them. I strongly recommend the company,

Elizabeth Donaldson
Having nurse next door care for my Mum has been the best decision our family has made. The support we have received along the way has been so amazing and we cannot thank the whole team enough. Nothing was too much effort and the girls and our support workers have become like second family. Thankyou for everything.

Nurse Next Door are not just an NDIS provider they really care for their participants. Shanna periodically calls in to check how my husband is going which just gives that personal touch. Administratively, if we need to change transport to an appointment last minute they are just a phone call away no matter what time of the day - even weekends! Then getting back with it resolved and organised pretty much straight away! This gives us piece of mind as we would have been charged and lost nNDIS hours for missed / cancelled appointments last minute by the other providers. Not to mention how wonderful the support workers are that transport my husband. Always friendly , conversational and eager to help him into the car. He’s built a rapport with them and that he even invites them and shows them our pets, etc…. after the trip. At Christmas time we get invited to an end of year party catered by Nurse Next Door as a thank you to the participants and their workers, where they present awards to their workers as well as. It’s lovely to meet everyone face to face- Shanna, Dee, Daniel and the team. We even had a surprise Christmas package dropped off at our front door! As my husband’s condition progresses I know we’ll need to rely more on the nursing assistance his support workers can provide. Nurse Next Door prioritises that personal touch to their professionalism.
