Connecting people and possibility for over 75 years

At Holdsworth, what we do is all about you. That’s why everything we do, we do it together. We believe in partnering with communities to inspire human connection, and we believe in new possibilities.

Supporting people to maintain their independence and enhance their quality of life is at the heart of what we do, and we work across disability, aged care and families to improve access, tailor support and create connections.
