About Healthcare Australia – Allied Health

HCA Allied Health (part of Healthcare Australia) is Australia’s leading allied health service provider across Residential Aged Care. We have a highly-skilled multidisciplinary team nationwide who are inspired and passionate about what they do. ‘Stronger Together’ is our team motto and that’s exactly what we live by. Working together to make a difference in the lives of those we care for is what drives us. Employee satisfaction and a company culture with a ‘celebrate the wins’ focus is at the core of everything we do!

The future of aged care is bright!

HCA has been at the forefront of the trial and implementation of the new aged care funding tool (AN-ACC) since 2016.
