Dedicated Registered Nursing
Hire a Qualified Private Nurse in Perth, WA
Private nursing in Perth is specialized, in-home clinical healthcare delivered by qualified AHPRA-Registered Nurses (RNs) without public waiting lists or government aged care delays. Care N Cure provides dedicated Nurse Coordinators for complex wound management, post-surgical recovery, medication administration, and chronic disease support across all Perth metropolitan suburbs. Families and self-funded individuals can initiate clinical nursing visits within 24 to 48 hours.
What Does In-Home Private Nursing Cover in Perth?
Unlike non-clinical home care services that focus solely on housework or companionship, private nursing care provides licensed medical treatment in the home. When health conditions require expert clinical judgment, hiring a private nurse ensures safety, accurate health tracking, and professional treatment execution.
Our Registered Nurses perform a comprehensive array of clinical procedures, including:
Sterile surgical dressing changes, pressure injury therapy, vacuum-assisted closure (VAC), and skin tear management. Learn about our specialized sterile wound care services.
IV antibiotic infusions, subcutaneous injections, complex dosing management, and liaising with community pharmacies for medication management.
Post-operative vital sign monitoring, drain care, pain management, and early detection of surgical complications. Explore our post-hospital care.
Insertion, flushing, and ongoing management of indwelling catheters (IDC), suprapubic catheters (SPC), and continence assessments.
Who Needs a Private Nurse at Home?
Private nursing care is designed for individuals and families who require professional clinical management outside of a hospital environment. It is ideal for:
- Surgical Patients: Individuals returning home after major orthopedic, cardiac, or general surgery needing skilled wound care and pain management.
- Seniors Waiting for Aged Care Funding: Older Perth residents bridging the multi-month waiting list for government Home Care Packages (HCP).
- NDIS Participants (Self & Plan Managed): Individuals with disability requiring high-intensity clinical interventions. Check our dedicated NDIS Nursing Care page.
- Families Seeking Peace of Mind: Relatives who live interstate or work full-time and need a qualified clinician overseeing their parent's health.
The Dedicated Nurse Advantage: Why Roster Continuity Matters
Standard nursing agencies in Perth often rely on rotating rosters, sending different temporary or casual nurses on every visit. This constant turnover forces clients to repeat their medical history repeatedly, increases the risk of missed clinical nuances, and disrupts personal comfort.
Care N Cure operates under a strict One Dedicated Nurse Coordinator model. You are assigned a single primary Registered Nurse who conducts your baseline clinical assessment and returns for every scheduled visit. This creates trust, enables early detection of subtle health changes, and provides a direct point of contact for your GP and family. Read more about how our dedicated Nurse Coordinator model sets us apart.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does private nursing cost in Perth?
Private Registered Nurse visits in Perth range from $110 to $160 per hour for standard weekday clinical care, depending on care complexity. Weekend, after-hours, and public holiday visits range between $160 and $220 per hour. Detailed pricing is available on our pricing schedule, and services can be self-funded or funded through NDIS or Home Care Packages.
Do you accept NDIS or Home Care Packages (HCP)?
Yes. Care N Cure is fully compatible with NDIS funding (under Capacity Building and Core Supports) and Home Care Packages (Levels 1 to 4). We also support self-managed participants, plan-managed participants, and private fee-for-service clients.
Can I get 24-hour private nursing care in Perth?
Yes. We offer flexible schedule coverage ranging from short 1-hour clinical visits for wound care or injection administration to extended day shifts and 24-hour around-the-clock nursing care for complex post-operative recovery or palliative support.
Do I need a doctor's referral to hire a private nurse?
No referral is required. You or a family member can hire a private nurse directly by calling Care N Cure on 1300 919 663. However, if you are being discharged from a hospital or require specific medical treatments, we liaise closely with your treating GP or hospital specialist.
What is the difference between a Registered Nurse (RN) and a home carer?
A Registered Nurse (RN) holds a university degree, is licensed by AHPRA, and is authorized to perform complex clinical procedures such as sterile wound dressing, urinary catheterization, IV medication administration, and clinical health assessments. A support worker or home carer provides non-clinical assistance such as light housework, companionship, and basic personal hygiene.
Can private nursing be claimed on private health insurance?
Depending on your private health fund and extras policy, clinical nursing services ordered by a doctor may qualify for partial or full rebates. We supply itemized invoices to assist you in making claims with your insurer.
How quickly can in-home private nursing care start in Perth?
In most cases across metropolitan Perth, care can commence within 24 to 48 hours following an initial phone consultation and clinical intake assessment. Urgent post-hospital discharge support can often be arranged on the same day.
What happens if my dedicated nurse is sick or on leave?
While you are assigned a primary dedicated Nurse Coordinator for continuity, Care N Cure maintains a small, closely acquainted team of secondary Registered Nurses. In the event of planned leave or illness, your hand-off is managed seamlessly by an RN who has already reviewed your medical history.
