Why choose
Fernlea?
We pride ourselves on providing tailored, personal care
Everyone’s needs are different and that’s why you can choose the services you need, when you want them and for how long. We hand-pick carers who are qualified, highly capable and genuinely care about clients’ wellbeing.
We're small and local
So we're smaller than the big guys, but this means we can offer a more personalised service. Our business and carers are local so we understand and are invested in the same community as you.
We focus on you, not big profits
Our clients are at the centre of everything we do, and that includes keeping our fees low. Any profits we make support our not-for-profit community work.
We're flexible
We understand things can change. That’s why we have no lock-in contracts or exit fees.
“I wouldn’t have been able to care for him at home as long as I have without the help from family, aged care packages and Fernlea.”
— Pam, Carer
