about cared
Two conversations built CARED. Neither of us could shake them.
two conversations
the first
Eight allied health professionals sat around the same table. Occupational therapists, Speech Therapists, psychologists. All qualified, all capable, all sitting on the sidelines.
Not because they didn't want to work. Because the industry had no room for a career that needed to flex around school pick-up, a sick parent, or a life outside the clinic.
So they walked away. Quietly, one by one, the profession lost them.
the second
Housing, sorted. Support workers, in place.
And still, a fourteen-month wait for speech therapy, while their son lost words he'd already learned how to say.
The need was there. The help was out there. Nothing connected them.
The practitioners were there. The need was there. Nothing in between was built to connect them.
So we built it
what we built
We match participants with the right practitioner, quickly, properly and humanly. And we give practitioners a way back into meaningful work, on terms that let them stay in the profession they trained for.
The right practitioner, matched on more than availability, so support starts sooner and fits the person it's for.
A way back into the work they trained for, without choosing between a career and a life.
leadership
Karim spent years scaling NDIS and disability services before spotting the gap hiding in plain sight: participants weren't only waiting on funding and support workers. They were waiting on therapy. That realisation became CARED.
Silvia holds a PhD in Computer Science and founded Coviu, one of Australia's most widely adopted telehealth platforms. She built the matching platform that connects participants and practitioners on far more than availability.
Cate combines clinical experience, commercial strategy and entrepreneurial leadership. Her commitment is personal: growing up alongside a sibling with disability before the NDIS, she saw what fragmented services and long waitlists cost families.
Whether you're a participant, a family or a Support Coordinator, one referral connects you to our full allied health team.
