What Pluss Communities does

Pluss Communities, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Milton, Queensland, is an Australian SaaS company that delivers white-label community engagement software to operators of seniors living communities. Its platform combines a branded, customisable resident mobile application (available on iOS and Android) with a staff-facing Community Manager Dashboard and an optional Enterprise HQ portfolio management layer. The platform encompasses 53 features across communication, events and bookings, maintenance management, payments, surveys, analytics, family access, marketplace, digital displays, and AI-assisted content drafting, and is offered as a single subscription without feature gates or per-login fees.

The company serves three primary verticals in Australia and New Zealand: retirement villages, residential aged care facilities, and land lease / over-50s lifestyle resorts, with named customers including Anglicare, Bolton Clarke, Aveo, GemLife, Eldercare, Metlifecare, Radius Care, Tricare, Benetas, and Ozcare. Pluss reports 200+ communities and 40,000+ residents using the platform and claims 80-90% adoption among residents in deployed sites. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to community size and number of sites, with an additional Enterprise HQ tier for multi-site operators and a HELF (Health and Leisure Fee) revenue module for aged care clients.

The business is run by a small team (1-10 employees) led by CEO Michael Jeffrey, CRO Shaun Alexander, CTO Thorbjorn Kappel Davis, and Community Manager Melanie Hall, supported by an inside sales function and a content-led demand generation programme that includes The Business of Ageing podcast. The platform holds ISO 27001:2022 certification, complies with the Australian Privacy Principles and the NZ Privacy Act 2020, and won an Australian Good Design Award in 2019. No external funding rounds have been disclosed.
