When you want hospital-grade clinical care without the hospital, private nursing brings a qualified Registered Nurse to you, for a few hours, overnight, or on a regular schedule built around your condition and your routine.
Private nursing suits people managing a chronic or complex condition, recovering from a serious illness, or coordinating care for an older relative who needs more than a personal carer can provide. Because it is privately arranged, there are no eligibility hoops and no waiting lists — you decide the level of care and when it happens.
Every visit is delivered by the same Division 1 nurse wherever possible, so nothing has to be re-explained and small changes in health are noticed early, before they become emergencies.
Structured observations — blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, pain and neurological checks — with clear records shared with your GP so trends are caught early.
Ongoing support for heart failure, COPD, cancer care, neurological conditions and frailty, including symptom management and liaison with your specialists.
We act as the link between your GP, specialists, pharmacist and allied health team, so your care is joined up rather than scattered across providers.
Waking or sleeping night shifts and longer sits for people who need reassurance and clinical cover through the night.
There is no scripted intake and no pressure, just a clear path to the right care:
Private nursing is only as good as the nurse who turns up. Paterson's was founded by Ellie Paterson, a Registered Nurse (CCRN) with more than 20 years of experience who still practises in one of Melbourne's largest hospitals — so the clinical standard behind your care is current, not remembered. Every nurse is hand-selected, works to evidence-based guidelines, and stays in step with your treating team.
