What CHARIOT HEALTH does

Chariot Health PTY is a private, founder-owned home-visit healthcare service established in 2010 by Dr Cameron Bruce and headquartered at 79 Main Road, Plumstead, Cape Town. The company delivers multidisciplinary in-home medical care to geriatric and palliative care patients across the Cape Peninsula and West Coast of South Africa, deploying coordinated teams that typically include a doctor (via Dr Cameron Bruce & Associates Inc.) and a nurse (via SR Alison Main & Associates Inc.), supplemented as needed by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers, and counsellors assembled by a Clinical Co-ordinator.

The service is supported by an IT care coordination platform that maintains secure patient information and enables team collaboration across practitioners distributed over 15+ Cape Town geographic areas. The product surface extends beyond clinical home visits to include Advanced Care Planning documentation, after-hours telephonic support, bereavement and grief counselling, a Group Social Work Practice, and medical equipment rental and frail care referrals.

The business operates on a fee-for-service model with publicly disclosed 2026 tariffs (R525–R1,980 per consultation, depending on duration and time of day), accepting private pay with medical aid pre-authorisation and claim-back workflows. Revenue is generated from individual patient transactions rather than enterprise contracts, and the company has no disclosed institutional investors, acquisitions, or external funding.
