Now in the Middle East
Warm, skilled support for People of Determination, older people and their families. Led by Sam and Macy, who built a trusted family-owned care organisation in Sydney and now bring it to the Middle East. We speak Arabic, English and Dutch, and we always listen first.
Choosing support for someone you love is personal. We start by listening: to the person, to you, and to what matters in your home. Then we build support around them, with people who genuinely care and who treat your family member with respect, dignity and patience.
You will feel listened to and understood, never processed.
We match support workers carefully and keep them consistent.
Privacy, respect and the person's own choices come first.
Sam and Macy speak Arabic. We respect your family's routines and can match support workers by language and gender.
For many young adults, the end of school means the end of routine, friends and things to look forward to. We help them keep learning, connecting and growing, through outings, everyday skills and activities they choose.

Register your interestSam and Macy spent 10 years in disability and social care in the Netherlands, where support is built around the person and their sense of belonging. When they moved to Australia, they saw people treated like numbers. In 2018 they founded Equality Disability and Health Care Services in Sydney to do it differently. Today it supports more than 140 people with a team of over 120. Now they are bringing the same promise to families here.
