Stay healthy, happy and well with professional nursing care
If you’re recovering from an injury or need support for a long-term illness or chronic condition, it’s important that you receive the best care, right away. At Great Mates, we work alongside a team of Registered Nurses with plenty of experience working in the community and with NDIS participants. Our community nurses provide knowledgeable and respectful care that will help you get back to living your life to the fullest.
Whether you need short-term care or ongoing support, our team of registered nurses can tailor your care to meet your needs and lifestyle. We’ll start with an open conversation about your options and how we can provide you with the best possible support. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, meet our nurses and organise appointments in your home at a time that suits your schedule.
Our nurses are experienced in working with people from many different backgrounds and provide culturally-sensitive, in-home services, including:
- Wound care and management
- Diabetes and dementia management
- Medication administration and review
- Chronic disease management
- Bowel, catheter and continence care
- Hospital discharge support
