I have been using Newcastle and Hunter Community Health registered nurses for over 4 years for recurring wound treatments and have found their staff to be always professional, efficient and knowledgeable about my needs. More importantly they are always respectful of my opinions concerning my body and again very importantly is their friendly attitude to me personally. Paul Dyer

Outstanding Home Nursing Service - Highly Recommended! I can't speak highly enough about the team at Newcastle Hunter Community Health (NHCH). The home nursing service they provide has been exceptional from start to finish. The staff are not only friendly and polite, but they go above and beyond in delivering fantastic, professional care. Their expertise in wound care has been nothing short of excellent – I've always felt confident in their hands. What really sets them apart, though, is their ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Despite the seriousness of the care needed, there's always room for a good laugh, which really helps ease any tension. If you're looking for a compassionate, skilled, and friendly nursing team, NHCH is the one to choose. I truly appreciate all their hard work and dedication!

I’ve been with NHCH as my NDIS care provider for a few months now, and I am extremely impressed by their level of professionalism, expertise, and compassion. As an NDIS registered provider, NHCH offers services that adhere to the highest standards, and it’s clear they care deeply about providing quality disability care. When I first contacted NHCH, I was immediately impressed by their friendly and knowledgeable team. They took the time to understand my unique needs and preferences and worked with me to develop a personalized care plan that would help me achieve my goals. The carers who visit me are always professional, respectful, and attentive. They’re great at following the care plan but are also flexible enough to accommodate any changes or adjustments as needed. I particularly appreciate the open communication with NHCH. They are always easy to contact if I have questions or concerns, and they regularly check in to ensure that I’m happy with the services. This level of attention and follow-up makes me feel well supported and confident in my care. If you are looking for a trustworthy NDIS provider in Newcastle that delivers exceptional disability care, I would highly recommend NHCH. They truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to make a positive difference in their lives.

Newcastle and Hunter Community Health (NHCH) is in Newcastle for NDIS and aged care. From the first interaction, their team displayed incredible professionalism and compassion. They truly understand the needs of individuals with disabilities and provide personalised care plans that cater to unique requirements. The caregivers are not only skilled but also warm and friendly. They made a significant effort to engage with my loved ones, ensuring they felt comfortable and valued. This level of dedication is hard to find, and it sets NHCH apart from other NDIS providers in the area. Additionally, their coordination with transport services for disability care was seamless. They have arrangements for accessible vehicles, making outings much more effortless. Loved one felt empowered and independent, which is invaluable. I highly recommend NHCH for anyone seeking reliable and compassionate disability care in Newcastle. Their commitment to quality service is evident in every interaction.

I highly recommend them to anyone in the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie area!
