About Us

At Risk Managed we have a vision that Australia can lead the way in how care is provided for people who are ageing or living with a disability. Quality care makes economic and social sense. It saves money, creates employment, assists to solve our care crisis and enables everyone to contribute to our economic and social community.

Risk Managed’s mission is to empower in-home care providers to deliver exceptional quality care. Through being smart about the care you provide you can feel confident knowing the major risks in your business are controlled, you have an enthusiastic, motivated workforce who love what they do, and finally, it is about being confident you are delivering exceptional quality care to the person at the centre of care – the client.

We believe:

  • Every person has the right to experience dignified, safe, comfortable and quality care to enhance their life.
  • Every support worker and carer has the right to feel confident, safe and make their job easier so they enjoy their role.
  • Every care provider can be a strong, sustainable business through upskilling their staff to deliver safe, quality care.
