For Zieta O’Brien, caring for others isn’t just part of her job — it’s woven into who she is. As a long-time Hawkesbury local and experienced Registered Nurse, Zieta has turned her passion for helping people into a thriving community service with Nurse Next Door Hawkesbury, a home care company that aims to put compassion and connection at the heart of every visit.
From emergency rooms to home visits, Zieta brings decades of clinical experience to her work. Her background in emergency nursing, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and aged care standards, ensures that every client receives safe, high-quality support — but what sets her apart is her unwavering personal touch.
Nurse Next Door is also an Australian government approved home care packaged provider.
“Family is everything,” Zieta says. “We’re here to make sure people can stay close to the people and places that matter most.”
Hawkesbury team members are out and about doing good deeds too.
Whether it’s complex dementia care or simply assistance with the day-to-day, Nurse Next Door offers a wide range of services to older Australians and people living with disabilities — all designed to help them live independently, comfortably, and with dignity in the homes they love.
The services are available 24/7, with everything from nursing support to meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, and more. Caregivers are carefully matched to each client.
“Continuity and comfort are so important,” says Zieta. “We take the time to understand who our clients are — their stories, their preferences — so they feel truly cared for, not just looked after.”
At the heart of the company is the guiding philosophy to 'Make Lives Better' — and that means going beyond checklists and schedules. Zieta and her team aim to bring joy, purpose, and warmth into each client’s life, with a level of service that feels more like family than formal care.
“People don’t just want help — they want to feel seen, heard, and respected,” Zieta explains. “That’s what we bring to every home we visit.”
Zieta and her colleagues also do lots of community engagement, so random acts of kindness by giving flowers out and supporting local charities to raise money, for example.
