JT, Epping, September 2019

Very pleased with all aspects of the care provided, from the coordinator to each of the nurses who visited and administrated my medication via the picc line. In particular, their communication skills were first-rate.

PL, Oatlands, Feb 2019

You are a very strong and capable team that can offer high quality and good services to patients. Especially you have good arrangements to satisfy different needs of patients that really need your help.

PX, Cherrybrook, April 2019

I appreciate the exceptional service provided by your team. The nurses’ communication was excellent, kind and understanding, and tasks carried out very professionally.

TC, Normanhurst, September 2019

I cannot thank the Vitalis team enough for their exceptional medical care given to me over 8 weeks of IV treatment at home. Each Vitalis team member went above and beyond their job description to provide individual care and emotional support throughout a very difficult medical episode.

AW, Baulkham Hills, August 2019

Absolutely agree (with choosing home rather than hospital for infusion treatments) having had to use this service for a loved one in a time of great need. Much easier for the patient to avoid the stress of travel and receive the treatment in the safety and comfort of their own home.

VT, Cronulla, June 2020

The quality of the nursing care I received was exceptional. The team were truly wound care specialists. They communicated clearly with me and each other and the continuity of care was excellent. I was lucky to have them and their care and kindness contributed to my healing. Thank you so much. xx
