Staying connected with family and friends is one of the most important ways to nurture happiness and wellbeing in our later years.

A simple call, a shared meal, or even a quick message can brighten the day and strengthen meaningful bonds. These moments of connection help reduce loneliness, lift the spirit, and remind us that we’re never truly alone.

What does ISO 9001:2015 certification actually mean in home care?
It means independent auditors regularly examine our processes – from recruitment and training to incident response and continuous improvement. Everything is verified against global standards, not just documented internally.
As the aged care sector evolves, this level of external validation helps registered providers make informed decisions about care partnerships.

When time matters most, home matters most 🤍
At Dovida, we know that the final months, weeks, or days with someone you love are incredibly precious.
They shouldn’t be spent organizing rosters, juggling appointments, or worrying about care.
They should be spent together.
Our experienced team provides gentle, respectful palliative and end‑of‑life care at home. We work closely with your nurses, GPs, allied health professionals and specialist teams to support comfort, dignity, and peace every step of the way.
We can assist with:
✨ Personal care and comfort support
✨ Overnight or 24‑hour care
✨ Family respite
✨ Companionship and emotional support
✨ Coordination with your wider care team
Support can often begin within just a few days — because when families reach out, waiting isn’t an option.
Funding may be available through Support at Home packages (with contributions depending on assessment), or care can be arranged privately — whichever best suits your situation.
Our approach is simple:
We keep our care teams small and consistent, so you see familiar faces and feel supported by people who truly know you.
Let us take care of the caring…
So you can focus on what truly matters — time, connection, and love. 🤍

There comes a time for many families when 1–2 hours of support simply isn’t enough.
When nights become unsettled.
When falls become a constant worry.
When coming home from hospital feels daunting.
When the partner who “always managed” starts to fade from exhaustion.
This is where Dovida 24‑Hour Care steps in.
We provide continuous, compassionate support — day and night — so your loved one can stay safe and comfortable in the place that feels most like them: home.
✨ Awake overnight support
✨ Complex & high‑needs care
✨ Dementia & palliative care
✨ Post‑hospital recovery
✨ Support for couples
✨ Rapid start — care in place within days
And here’s what truly matters…
While we take care of the caring, you get to be family again —
the daughter, the husband, the son —
not the overwhelmed, exhausted carer.
If you’re a hospital discharge planner, GP, allied health professional, or a family quietly struggling behind closed doors, please reach out.
We cover areas from Cairns, Tablelands, Innisfail and Port Douglas. We can carefully match care teams who genuinely know their clients.

Meet Valmai -
At 86, Valmai has been bringing her community together for 70 years as a CWA member, hosting morning teas, packing care bags for domestic violence survivors, and baking up a storm.
Despite gradually losing her central vision over 30 years, Valmai still cooks from memory and feel (with a little help from her Dovida carers Judy and Donna).

Across Australia, an estimated 2.2 billion hours of informal care are provided every year. Around 70% of unpaid care is carried out by women - often quietly, often without recognition, and almost always out of love.

90% of our Dovida team are women. Nine in ten of our Caregivers are women, and two in three of the people we have the privilege of caring for are women too.

This sector would not exist as it does without women. And neither would we.

To everyone who gives their time, their skill, and their heart to this work - whether paid or unpaid, whether in a client's home or their own - thank you❤
