About Us.

We all experience loss. But we know from our work – and from our personal experiences – that not all of us get the support we need. We’re here to change that for good, by being an endless source of care and guidance through life’s hardest time.

We’re driven by a common purpose to do right by Australian families.

Our mission is to change the end-of-life stories of those in aged care for the better, by being the essential support network for life’s hardest time.

We’re here for the residents who deserve control over their final wishes. We’re here for the families left to pick up the pieces when their loved one dies. And we’re here for the staff who work tirelessly to provide the best possible care.

CareLoop uses technology to put the industry’s best end-of-life experts in the palm of your people’s hands. Residents can get the emotional and spiritual support of trained death doulas from the comfort of their room. Families can call us to speak to top lawyers who work on wills and estates every single day. And employees can have video calls with highly-qualified counsellors whose specialisations range from carer grief and LGBTQIA+ support, to trauma counselling and non-death loss.

Through our services, we’re making sure families get the support they deserve when their world’s turned upside down. And we’re showing up for the carers, nurses and social workers in aged care who spend their whole career putting others first.  

That’s our purpose, and that’s how we’re making end-of-life experience better for everyday Aussies. We’re here whenever you need us, for as long as you need us.
