“Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.”

WE ARE A TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH YOU FOR YOU

Australian Carers is a company borne out of the urgent need to fill the gap made by NDIS provider agencies who are not customer-focused. Australian carers  uses the social model of disability not the outdated medical model as our ethos in service provision. Since the roll-out of the NDIS in 2013, the need for reliable and appropriately-trained Support Workers has boomed. Unfortunately, it has been many participants’ experience that there is a profound lack of skilled workers in this sector; particularly in regards to participants with high-needs disabilities. It is therefore Australian Carer’s mission to become the leading NDIS provider, trusted for consistent top-quality service and only employing best practice. Australian Carers have been named and listed by the NDIS on the COVID-19 response page as an approved provider of support workers. Every team member at Australian Carers, from management to the support workers, are trained and accredited to meet or exceed NDIS standards
Our Support Workers are caring, compassionate and matched to participant needs

Australian Carers is led by founding members who have many years combined managerial experience including governmental departments and agencies. As our services have grown we have been joined by many fantastic, knowledgeable and professional people such as Ellie Grantham who is our South Australian Manager, Lauren Ralph our Engagement Manager, Tina Mantoya and Jess Stephenson are part of our ever expanding Support Coordination team , we also have on board a highly qualified medical professional whose experience spans a broad range of medical fields from Acute Critical Care to Community Nursing. Support worker staff have ongoing professional training and full accreditation, specially chosen by Australian Carers for their dedication and passion. Most importantly, our team are employees with excellent benefits, and not subcontracted like so many other providers. This ensures a great work ethic from our staff, who in turn provide the best quality care and support for our most vulnerable citizens
