The business

Aged Care Decisions is a national placement platform spanning residential aged care, home care and, under its Care Decisions brand, the NDIS sector. Founded in 2014 as Australia's first dedicated aged care review site, it launched its placement model in 2016 and remains the country's largest consumer review platform for residential aged care.

For most families the search for care follows a fall, a diagnosis or a crisis rather than a plan, and the decision carries real financial and emotional weight. Most face a complex, means-tested system without knowing a free placement service exists at all. Doing that work for them, nationally, every day, is the business.

Why Fortitude partnered.

The same frame guides every investment: good people, building a good business, in a good market. For Aged Care Decisions, that means:

01 Good people

A co-founder team with the ambition to build something enduring for the aged care ecosystem.

02 Good business

The market leading placement services business for families and aged care providers in Australia.

03 Good markets

Participating in the secular demand for residential and in-home aged care, helping families navigate a highly complex and emotional process, and bringing efficiency to the market.

How we work together.

Fortitude supports, it does not operate. The founder and management team keep leading the business; Fortitude brings the capital, people and networks that help it become more valuable, and steps in most when it matters most.

Capital

Growth funding to invest in the business with confidence, and to fund acquisitions, without over-extending the balance sheet.

People & governance

Stronger boards, sharper reporting and senior hires, added alongside the founder where they add the most.

Growth & M&A

Networks, market insight and deal experience to grow organically and through acquisition.
