Core offering

RDNS operates as a specialised home care broker (Your Choice HomeCare, acquired 2014) that connects individual clients with qualified, police-checked care workers for aged care, disability (NDIS) support and general home services.

Product overview

RDNS Your Choice HomeCare is a specialized home care broker organization operated by RDNS since 2014, providing a unified platform that connects clients with qualified care workers. The core offering is Your Choice HomeCare, which delivers tailored aged care services (dementia care, personal care, palliative care, respite care, post-hospital care, live-in care), around-the-home services (home help, meal preparation, sleepovers, family support, LGBTIQ+ support), and out-and-about services (companionship and social support, transport, shopping assistance, camps and day programs, organisational support). The company acts as a broker, matching clients with suitable care workers rather than offering modular add-on products.

• KinCare: National Australian in-home aged-care and disability provider offering personal care, nursing, domestic assistance, and clinical care. Closely comparable to RDNS' service mix, NDIS registration, and fee-for-service home-care model.
• Bolton Clarke: Major Australian not-for-profit aged-care, home care, and retirement-living provider operating across multiple states with both in-home care and residential facilities. Comparable to RDNS in aged-care breadth, geographic scale, and reliance on government funding programs (HCP, CHSP, DVA).
• Baptcare: Victorian and Tasmanian aged-care, disability, and community services provider with a significant home-care offering. Comparable to RDNS in mission, NDIS and aged-care service breadth, and reliance on government block funding.
• Just Better Care: Australian franchised home-care provider delivering personal care, disability support, and aged-care services across multiple states. Highly comparable to RDNS as a multi-state, broker-style home-care operator serving NDIS and aged-care clients.

Broad incumbents

• Mercy Health Australia: Catholic health and aged-care organisation running home-care, residential aged care, and retirement-living services across multiple Australian states. Comparable to RDNS in aged-care and home-care service mix, though broader in clinical and residential offerings.
• Australian Unity: Large Australian mutual organisation offering home care, residential aged care, retirement living, banking, and insurance. Comparable to RDNS in the home-care and aged-care segments, but operates at much greater scale across multiple verticals.
• Regis Healthcare: ASX-listed Australian aged-care provider primarily operating residential aged-care facilities across multiple states. Adjacent to RDNS as a large, multi-state aged-care provider exposed to the same government policy environment and aged-care workforce dynamics, though not a home-care specialist.
