Keeping Providers Open and Focused on Care – How Partnerships Like PACE Care Strengthen the Sector 

As aged care reform continues, many small and regional providers are facing a difficult reality. With growing compliance demands, workforce challenges and financial pressure, it’s becoming harder to stay open and focused on care.

At Care Systems, we believe providers shouldn’t have to face this alone.

We’re proud to support the sector both through our software and through meaningful partnerships with organisations like PACE Care. These shared service models are making a real difference, especially for providers with limited internal resources.

A model designed to support, not control
Recently featured in The Weekly SOURCE, PACE Care was created by aged care providers who knew they needed to work differently to survive. By bringing together services like finance, payroll and compliance reporting, they’ve built a model that helps smaller providers stay independent, sustainable and focused on their residents.

As PACE Care CEO Amber Witherdin shared, “Sometimes we’re just filling a three-hour-a-month gap. Other times, we’re the entire finance team.”

This kind of flexibility is what makes PACE Care such a valuable partner. It’s also what makes our partnership so effective.

How Care Systems fits in
PACE Care’s model works because it’s backed by the right technology. Through our partnership, Care Systems provides the platform that supports daily care reporting, financial tracking and streamlined processes for billing and compliance.

As reform brings new requirements around governance, reporting and resident data, we’re working closely with PACE Care and their clients to make sure the right tools are in place. This includes:

• Reporting for care minutes and quality indicators
• Workflows that support governance and audit needs
• Strengthened system security and privacy controls
• Access to financial and resident data in real time

We’re stronger when we work together
The road ahead isn’t simple, but aged care providers continue to show up and care for their communities. That kind of resilience deserves support.

Whether it’s through our platform or through partnerships like the one we have with PACE Care, we’re proud to stand alongside the people keeping aged care going.

Because when providers have the right support, they can spend more time where it matters most.

And we’re here to help them do just that.
