Five Good Friends celebrates 10 years of helping Australians stay independent at home through friendship-focused care, trusted by nearly 10,000 families nationwide.
The Five Good Friends team is so proud of reaching such an important milestone. But what makes us even prouder is the difference our friendship-focused care makes in the lives of those we serve. Not only have we reached 10 rewarding years, we are trusted by nearly 10,000 Australian families to care for the people they love and treasure. Over the past 10 years we have learnt what it takes to provide the care that people need and deserve – and we'll continue to learn, grow and listen to our Members and their loved ones.
Inspired by friendship
Five Good Friends was built on the power of friendship. That hasn't changed in 10 years and never will. When our founders Simon and Nathan discovered that the secret to a longer, happier life is staying connected to your friends and community, living in the home you love, they were driven to reinvent home care. Staying close and connected to what you know and love is everything. Things like having the neighbours you've known for years nearby, your favourite cafe just around the corner, or the dog park just a short walk away, make all the difference in the world. It’s your community, your home – it’s where you belong.
While we’re proud of the four million home care visits we’ve made over the last 10 years, what really drives us is knowing that every visit helps those we serve stay connected to their community. Simon Lockyer. CEO, Five Good Friends.
Stay independent and in control.
Whether you need help with cleaning and cooking, or maybe nursing care, every single visit from a Five Good Friends Helper has a greater purpose – to help you stay living in the home you love. We know that being independent and in control are so important and we promise we're always listening to you and respecting your decisions.
My mother is extremely happy with her Helpers. She loves them – and that is music to my ears. Member. NSW.
The choice is always yours.
Five Good Friends want you to look forward to your Helper's visits and enjoy their company, and we have developed human-centred technology to help you do just that. We do our very best to match Helpers to Members so they share interests and can relate to each other. Tapping into the power of friendship is central to everything we do at Five Good Friends. Of course, the final decision of who you choose as a Helper is yours.
I’m able to have the same Helper at times that suit me. The continuity means we’ve built a valuable connection. Member, Victoria.
Here’s to the next 10 years.
While we’re proud of the past 10 years, our focus is on the next 10, continuing to evolve and reimagine home care. We know there is always room for improvement and our focus is on innovating, listening and learning so we can keep delivering home care that enhances the lives of those we are so privileged to serve.
