Why Nunyara Care Plus is Not Just for the Seniors and Elders Amongst Us

While aged care is an important part of what we do, Nunyara Care Plus is fundamentally about supporting people of all ages who are navigating complex care systems — whether through the NDIS, veterans’ programs, hospital discharge, or private health challenges.

The phrase “Not just for the seniors and elders amongst us” highlights our commitment to:

Children and young people with disabilities who need functional assessments or continence reports.
Adults with lifelong or acquired disabilities who require system navigation, advocacy, and tailored health plans.
Carers of all ages—spouses, parents, adult children—who need guidance, relief, and support.
Culturally and linguistically diverse communities where age is not the only barrier to care.
Professionals and providers who benefit from training, clinical guidance, and a responsive partner in complex care.

At Nunyara Care Plus, we believe that nurse-led, culturally responsive, evidence-based care should be available to anyone who needs it — not just those at the end of life, but also those building it.

Acknowledgement of Country

Nunyara Care + acknowledges the Barngarla people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work. We recognise and respect their enduring connection to Country, culture, and language, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
