CareCorner was founded by Barbara Goodwin, a Perth mum with lived experience coordinating complex care for her son, Winston, across a multidisciplinary team of nurses, support workers and allied health professionals.

​

For years, Winston’s care was tracked the old-fashioned way: pen and paper. Important information lived in notebooks and memories, changes went unnoticed, and the hardest days were the least likely to be written down. Trends were almost impossible to see. Preparing for a specialist appointment or an NDIS planning meeting meant hours spent sifting through notes. And in the emergency department, facing hundreds of questions, Barbara and her husband had to recall the last few days from memory, along with a medication chart of multiple doses spread throughout the day.

​

Add fragmented systems and almost no communication between support workers, agencies and family, and the load on carers was enormous (not to mention the stacks of paper).

​

CareCorner was born out of a simple need: to plan ahead, keep care information up to date, share it with every trusted carer, and document care in a way that supports medical decisions and ongoing funding advocacy.

​

As providers saw it in action, demand grew from organisations looking for better tools to manage risk, improve oversight and strengthen collaboration, without adding admin burden.

​

CareCorner is about dignity, trust and connection

 

Families can have trust and visibility into care, without needing to be in the room. Care providers’ efforts are seen, recorded and recognised. Agencies can deliver better care from the frontline.
