01

Recognise your skills

Hands-on care, communication, reliability and understanding people’s needs are valuable strengths. Your work deserves respect and your ambitions deserve to be heard.

02

Explore your own enterprise

Consider home support, companionship, respite or another care-related business suited to your qualifications. We aim to help women work through business planning, pricing, costs and routes to customers.

03

Build a responsible foundation

Prepare for financing and connect with mentors. Identify the training, insurance, staffing and regulatory requirements relevant to your service. Job titles and permitted duties vary by location.

Your experience matters.

You do not need to be a doctor, executive or property owner to have entrepreneurial potential. We want women delivering everyday care to have a fair opportunity to develop their own plans.
