Wound care and nursing in Carindale, by our nursing team.
Wound care and nursing in Carindale is handled by our nursing team at Westfield Carindale, from cuts and skin tears to post-operative sites. Dressing changes are done quickly, and you don't need to see a GP first.
Ongoing wound nursing, coordinated with your other care
Some wounds need care over weeks or months, and you may be seeing more than one provider, such as a surgeon, a hospital outpatient clinic or a podiatrist. Good wound nursing means everyone follows the same plan. At Carindale Doctors, our nursing team keeps your wound care consistent and coordinated.
We follow instructions from your surgeon or hospital, keep records of your wound’s progress and share updates with your GP. If you’re also seeing a podiatrist or specialist, we can work with their plan. Regular appointments are scheduled in advance, so you always know when your next dressing change is.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ nursing team provides ongoing wound care and nursing inside Westfield Carindale, following surgeon or hospital plans, recording progress and coordinating with your GP and other providers. Regular appointments are booked in advance. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.

- Different dressings used by different providers.
- Missed signs of infection between visits.
