Meet the Team
Janice: CEO & Founder
My name is Janice and I am the founder of Supportive Care Australia. I grew up in Adelaide and am a mum of three now adult boys and have three beautiful grandchildren. I spent 13 years as a Correctional Officer, eventually moving into home detention, probation and parole.
Deciding in 2009 to leave corrections, I completed my Certificate III in Aged Care and commenced working in nursing homes in Adelaide. I was lucky enough to move into disability about a year later as a team leader in a SIL’s home.
Completing my Certificate IV in Disability several years ago, I have in my working life gained experience in all areas of support, as a Correctional Officer and then as a Support Worker, moving into management roles within disability and aged care. I have been able to work with some fantastic clients, enabling me to learn hands-on a lot about what is needed to successfully see my clients achieve their dreams and goals.
This is how running my own business supporting those in need became a dream of mine. So, after moving to Cairns, QLD, in 2013, my family and I started our first branch of Supportive Care Australia in 2020 called Care FNQ, with the goal of establishing ourselves in our hometown, Adelaide. Now that we have been successful for a number of years, it is finally time to come back home.
I made a promise to myself when we started the business that no matter what, if we cannot help someone, I will find someone who can so that everyone gets the support they need. I believe that we can all work together to ensure that the correct supports are being provided.
Ensuring that everyone is given the right to have choice and control while maintaining their right to dignity of risk is fundamental in all areas of a person’s life.
Anthony: General Manager
My name is Anthony and I am the General Manager of Supportive Care Australia. As one of the three sons of Janice, CEO and founder, I was also born and raised in Adelaide.
When we started our first branch of Supportive Care Australia in 2020 in Cairns, QLD, called Care FNQ, it was my first experience in the industry that I now love. My background was in hospitality management, specifically hotel and area management.
When we first started the company, I was the man with many hats, fully immersing myself in the industry whilst building the business administration requirements. I also worked as a Support Worker and Case Manager until a time when we had expanded to the point that my focus was required for administrative/operational management; although, I still jump at the opportunity to go on supports every now and then.
I stand by our values and believe no one should be without the support they need. No one should have to do it hard and feel alone.
Having seen so many issues that everyday people face, it is important to me to establish good communication and relationships with everyone, regardless of barriers they may have.
