Private Nurse Services: Concierge Health Care at Home

In an overburdened public health system, many Australians are seeking a higher standard of personalised care. Private Nursing offers the ultimate solution: hospital-grade medical expertise delivered in the privacy, comfort, and safety of your own home.

At Nursed, we provide exclusive, concierge-style nursing services. Whether you are recovering from plastic surgery, managing a complex illness, or simply require additional support that government-funded packages cannot provide, our team of Private Registered Nurses is available 24/7 to meet your needs with discretion and clinical excellence.

What is Private Nursing?

Private nursing involves hiring a qualified nurse directly to provide one-on-one care. Unlike government-funded services (NDIS or Aged Care) which may have waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria, private nursing is flexible, immediate, and tailored entirely to your preferences.

This service allows patients to bypass the clinical, impersonal environment of a hospital ward. According to the Australian College of Nursing, nursing in the community is a rapidly growing field, allowing for better patient outcomes due to reduced infection risks and lower stress levels in the home environment.

Our Premium Private Nursing Services

Our nurses are hand-picked for their clinical skills and bedside manner. We cater to a wide range of private health needs in Sydney.

1. Post-Operative Care & Surgical Recovery

Recovering from surgery can be painful and daunting. Early discharge is common, but you may not feel ready to cope alone. We specialise in:

• Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Recovery: Discreet monitoring after procedures (e.g., abdominoplasty, facelifts), managing drains, and ensuring wound integrity.
• Orthopaedic Rehabilitation: Assistance after hip or knee replacements, focusing on pain management and safe mobility in line with Australian Orthopaedic Association recovery protocols.
• Caesarean Section Support: helping new mothers with wound care and mobility while they bond with their baby.

2. Hospital Substitute Treatment (IV Therapy)

Why stay in a hospital bed just for a drip? Our nurses are trained in intravenous therapies.

• Administration of IV antibiotics (Hospital in the Home).
• Hydration therapy.
• Picc line and Port-a-Cath management.

3. Complex Chronic Disease Management

For clients with ongoing medical conditions, we provide consistency. Instead of a rotating roster of strangers, you get a dedicated private nurse who knows your history.

• Diabetes Management: Insulin administration and blood sugar stabilisation.
• Cardiac Care: Monitoring vital signs and medication compliance.
• Respiratory Support: Oxygen therapy and nebuliser management.

4. Palliative Nursing at Home

We believe that end-of-life care should be dignified and peaceful. Our private nurses work alongside palliative specialists to provide symptom control and emotional support, allowing loved ones to pass away at home rather than in a hospice. We adhere to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia standards for palliative practice.

The Difference: Private Nurse vs. Support Worker

It is crucial to understand the difference between a “carer” and a “nurse.”

• Support Worker / Carer: Assists with hygiene, cleaning, and transport. They cannot perform medical tasks.
• Registered Nurse (RN): University-educated medical professional registered with AHPRA. They can assess health, administer Schedule 8 medications, treat wounds, and liaise with doctors.

At Nursed, we can provide a hybrid team: a Private Nurse for the clinical tasks and a Support Worker for the daily duties, ensuring a cost-effective solution.

Funding and Insurance for Private Nursing

While many of our clients are self-funded (paying privately for the highest level of service), financial assistance may be available.

Private Health Insurance

Some premium private health insurance policies cover “Home Nursing” or “Hospital Substitute Treatment” if ordered by a doctor. We recommend checking your policy details. The Private Health Insurance Ombudsman provides excellent consumer advice on what policies typically cover.

Compensation Schemes

If your injury is the result of a workplace accident or car crash, funding might be available through schemes like iCare or CTP Insurance.
