About us
Hi there!
We're Five Good Friends, an approved aged care and registered NDIS service provider.
We help our clients (we call them Members) live vibrantly in their own homes by wrapping a care team around them and their families.
Our software coordinates in the background so our teams can do their best work.

Good people using friendly software is how we do care differently and why we're invited back into the homes of our Members - over 28,000 times a month.

Our carers (we call them Helpers) play a key role in creating the magic for our members.
Five Good Friends strives to form high-quality, long-lasting connections between Members and their Helpers.
