About Us

Montessori Care is one of Australia’s most trusted providers of in-home aged care and NDIS disability support services, supporting people who want to live safely, independently, and meaningfully in their own homes. Inspired by the Montessori philosophy, we work with families seeking peace of mind, building caring relationships based on respect, dignity, and trust.

We are person-centred, always. People are at the core of what we do every single day — whether it’s our clients, their families, or our own staff, our vision is to promote autonomy, dignity, and personal growth, helping every individual live a life they choose.
