“Lending a caring helpful hand”

As the sole business owner and director, Meagan Harding is justifiably proud of the success of The Tomaree Nursing Service. As Meagan says “nursing is not just following a set of procedures and protocols it is an unquantifiable ability. It is the ability to care for another human being as you could have them care for you, or a family member. This is not something that can be taught, it is felt. The staff of Tomaree Nursing Service has this gift and much more!”

The majority of our patients are Veterans but we also service patients through Port Stephens Community Options, Privately insured patients i.e. NIB, MBF etc. Commonwealth Carer Respite Service, Workers Compensation Patients, Office of the Protective Commissioner, Holiday Patients and self-funded patients.
