Can I get nursing services at home?

How good would it be to skip the hassle of booking a doctor’s appointment then sitting around in a busy waiting room full of sick people, by receiving a health visit at home instead? Very good, of course, and fortunately it’s quite easy to arrange!

However, many older people are still going to their GP for simple nursing services that they don’t realise they could be receiving at home. So, this episode of our podcast Age Old Problems: New Aged Care we discuss what’s available at home and who is eligible to receive it.

With new funding for Support at Home set to be announced in November 2025, receiving nursing at home will become a reality for even more people. Listen to host Kate Holland in discussion with Helping Hand Nurse and Clinical Manager, Jess Bryant, to find out:

• The many services a nurse can offer without needing a GP on-site
• The important reporting and interaction between GPs and Nurses
• The benefits at home nursing can also bring to carers
• More on Support at Home and other initiatives to keep people living at home longer.
