Private nursing questions.
- How much does a private nurse cost in Australia?
- It depends on the type of care, how long each visit is and the time of day. We give you a written quote after a Registered Nurse assessment, before any care starts, so you know exactly what you will pay.
- Do I need a referral for private nursing?
- No. You can call us directly. If you are also eligible for DVA or Support at Home, we help you use that funding too.
- How quickly can private nursing start?
- We reply within 24 to 48 hours, then a Registered Nurse books your home assessment. There is no waiting list.
- Can private nursing top up my DVA or Support at Home care?
- Yes. Many clients add private visits to their funded care. The same team provides both, under one plan.
- Can I have private nursing while I wait for Support at Home?
- Yes. You can start privately now and move to your Support at Home budget once it is approved, with no break in care.
- Can you care for both of us?
- Yes. We care for couples in the one home, under one coordinated plan, with the same team for you both.
