Transport support in Whittlesea:
How we can help
Is this different from a taxi?
Yes, significantly. Your caregiver assists you from your front door, into the car and to your destination, staying with you if you would like company, helping with mobility, and making sure you are settled safely back home afterwards.
Can you drive my car?
Yes. If you prefer your own vehicle, your caregiver can drive it provided it is comprehensively insured. Alternatively, they can use their own vehicle, which is fully insured for business use, and we can accommodate walkers and foldable wheelchairs.
Will you stay with me during the appointment?
That is entirely up to you. Many clients appreciate having a companion in the waiting room, or even during the consultation, for extra support. If you would rather have privacy, we can wait in the car or return to collect you at a set time.
Can we make multiple stops?
Yes. This is your time, so if you want to visit the doctor, stop at the chemist and grab a coffee on the way home, we are happy to accommodate your schedule.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
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,
Dan
Highly recommended! Very caring with open communication and thorough in their processes! Thank you
Anthony Farso
Dee, Shanna and the whole team at Nurse Next Door delivered exceptional, personalised end-of-life care for my mother. They were engaged, compassionate, responsive and reliable during a very difficult time. They worked seamlessly with the local palliative team, and made my mother's wish to stay at home until the end a reality. Thank you all, you truly made a unforgettable difference.
Murray Thomlinson
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.

Jodie from Nurse Next Door is so friendly and helpful, her knowledge and care is outstanding. I highly recommend the services Nurse Next Door Melbourne North offer to be of the highest standard.
Glenn Parkins
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.
Sarah T
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!

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

Paul Crawford
Nurse Next Door became part of our lives during a very difficult chapter, and I will always be grateful for the care and support they gave my mum. From the beginning, they made an effort to understand Mum, her needs and our family. As her condition progressed and things became harder, they continued to support us with patience, flexibility and understanding. Knowing we had people around us who genuinely cared made such a difference. What I appreciated most was the way Mum was treated. She was always approached with dignity and respect, and we never felt like we were just another family receiving a service. Their support continued right through Mum’s final stages, and even after she passed away, their kindness did not stop. That meant a lot to me and showed the type of people behind the care. A special thank you to Jade and everyone at Nurse Next Door who supported Mum and our family. I will always remember the kindness you showed us during such an important and difficult time in our lives. I would absolutely recommend Nurse Next Door to any family looking for care that feels genuinely personal.

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.
Sarah R
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.
