Brad Grieve and Linda Doolan

Brad Grieve and Linda Doolan have developed a community-led aged care coordination service that allows older Australians to remain living at home, supported by a local workforce.

Their model connects elderly residents with government-funded support packages while supporting local community members to become independent support workers.

This innovative service addresses the lack of local aged care services and creates income-generating opportunities for community members. By fostering local engagement and support, Brad and Linda aim to improve health outcomes for older Australians and strengthen community cohesion. With the model successfully operating in Western Australia, the SPARK program will support them in developing the social enterprise business model in other states.
