What Aidacare does
Aidacare is an Australian healthcare equipment manufacturer, distributor, and service provider founded in 1987 and headquartered in Moorebank, NSW. The company designs, manufactures (under its Aspire and Aidacare Healthcare brands, to Australian standards), and distributes more than 8,000 product lines spanning mobility aids, manual and power wheelchairs, hospital beds and mattresses, bathroom and daily living equipment, pressure care products, medical carts, paediatric products, and complex rehabilitation equipment. It also distributes leading international brands including Permobil, Pride Mobility, Ottobock, Sunrise Medical, Invacare, and ROHO. Its customers include residential aged care operators, hospital and acute care networks, prescribing therapists, community and home care providers, retirement living operators, and individual consumers funded through NDIS, DVA, icare, SWEP, TAC, WorkSafe Victoria, and MASS schemes. Aidacare has been a registered NDIS provider since 2013.
Aidacare operates an omnichannel go-to-market model: more than 30 retail showrooms across Australian capital cities and regional centers; an e-commerce online shop; dedicated co-branded partner portals for enterprise customers; independent network partners covering regions not directly serviced; inside sales via phone and quote request; and a rental/hire program for home care, rehabilitation, and physiotherapy equipment in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane metro areas. The rental fleet is maintained to ISO 9001 quality standards, and the company offers service, maintenance, repair, facility fitout, and home modification services. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales, usage-based equipment rental, and ongoing service/maintenance contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Aidacare is owned by Quadrant Private Equity and operates with 251-500 employees.
In February 2026, Aidacare secured a combined A$540 million (approximately US$382 million) six-year private credit facility from Bain Capital Credit LP and UBS Group AG at a margin of approximately 500 basis points over the Australian Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate. The proceeds were used primarily to refinance existing debt and fund a dividend payout to Quadrant Private Equity, in a transaction that illustrates the broader shift of dividend recapitalizations into Australia's private credit market.
