Whether you need clarity on your home care options, support to navigate the aged care system, or a reliable partner to help you or a loved one achieve the best possible care outcome, our experienced team is here to help improve your quality of life.
Care Connect understands your choice to live at home, so we work hard to build a community of care comprising your trusted Care Management team, care workers and support to keep you connected to local groups you may enjoy.
As a client, you will be partnered with your own dedicated Care Manager who will take the time to understand you and your circumstances, create a personalised care plan, coordinate tailored services and advocate for you when needed. This high level of Care Management has successfully supported people to live happily and confidently at home since 1994.

Care Connect client Maria was born in Melbourne and raised, in part, in a tiny country town called Serpentine – a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spot on the way to Swan Hill. There was one hotel, and her parents ran it. After two years pulling pints they moved on to Bendigo, where Maria finished school before heading back to Melbourne in 1960 to begin nursing training at St Vincent’s Hospital.
As Care Connect marks 30 years of supporting older Australians to live independently, the home care provider is doubling down on a future-focused strategy that places workforce development, client empowerment, and multidisciplinary care at the heart of its growth.
Ron Brewster’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and the power of support. And humour. Whatever life has thrown at him, he’s been able to see the funny side of even some darker moments. A self-described “Peter Pan,” Ron has lived a dynamic life, taking on various roles—from middle management to outback worker, factory owner, playwright and actor. His journey has been marked by adventure, reinvention, and an unwavering focus on what truly matters to him.

Colleen has been a Care Connect client for a little over 12 months. She has a Home Care Package and was initially with another provider, but wanted something more.
