The Group behind the brands
Torrens Health is the parent company behind a growing group of healthcare, aged care and disability businesses. We bring them together under shared services, technology and standards, so each brand can do what it does best.
Who we are
Torrens Health began in 1970 as a specialist nursing agency, founded on a simple belief, that great care starts with great people. Over five decades we've grown from a single agency into a group of trusted brands spanning nursing, allied health, aged and in-home care, disability support, plan management, retirement accommodation and facilities services. We remain 100% Australian owned and operated, and our teams are still led by nurses and health experts who understand care from the inside. That's what lets our brands work together, so the people we support get joined up care that follows them wherever they are. Today the group spans around 15 businesses supporting communities across Australia.
Rather than a single service, we are a group of established brands, each with its own audience and expertise.

- TODAY: ONE GROUP, MANY TRUSTED NAMESTorrens Health is home to around 15 businesses across four divisions: Medical and Allied Health, Assisted Retirement Living, Agency and Home Care, and Disability and NDIS. Each brand keeps its own identity. All share one purpose: helping Australians live well at every stage of life.
Our values
Everything we do comes back to people, the people we support, the people we employ and the communities we work in.
People come to us at every stage of life, often at moments that matter. We listen, we take time to understand and we treat everyone with dignity.
Health and care never stand still, and neither do we. We invest in our people, our systems and better ways of working so the care we provide keeps getting better.
What the group is for
At Torrens Health, our people come first. We know that when our staff feel supported, valued and set up to do their best work, the people in their care feel it too. That same care extends beyond our doors. Giving back to the communities we work in is part of who we are, not an add-on, and we back organisations doing practical, meaningful work for South Australians who need it most.
Helping Australians live well at every stage of life: that's the purpose every brand in the group shares, from a child's first speech session to care at the end of life. Each brand keeps its own name and its own community. The group exists so each of them can do that work better.
We are proud partners of the YNA Multicultural Power Cup, celebrating the cultural diversity that shapes our communities and recognising the contribution people from every background make to Australian life.
Providing support for the Care Car Program, which helps local people get to GP appointments, do their shopping and stay connected through social outings, because transport should never be the reason someone misses out.
