While Tanya did not win the award, her passion for advancing homecare services and unwavering support for Kare Plus franchisees solidify her status as a true leader in the field. The Kare Plus team was honoured to participate in this inspiring event, which recognised excellence and compassion across the homecare industry. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners for their dedication to care!

Tanya’s Career Journey in Homecare

Tanya’s healthcare journey began over two decades ago when she joined a healthcare agency, gaining valuable experience across a range of care sectors. Initially, on a path to becoming a prison nurse, she paused her career ambitions to care for her son full-time. This decision ultimately led her to discover her passion for homecare, where she felt a strong desire to improve services—not only for clients but also for the dedicated staff. Recognising this as her true calling, Tanya quickly progressed from a supervisor to a Registered Manager, then a Regional Support Manager, and finally to her current role as Head of Homecare at Kare Plus.

As Head of Homecare, Tanya plays a pivotal role in supporting the national Kare Plus network, mentoring managers, and fostering business growth. She leads training sessions, provides regulatory guidance, and conducts thorough audits across all Kare Plus Homecare businesses to ensure compliance and safeguarding standards are consistently met. Tanya’s dedication to service excellence has empowered our network to consistently provide outstanding care. “Their success is my success,” she notes, highlighting her strong commitment to the success of every Kare Plus franchisee.

Leading Innovation and Supporting Franchisees

Tanya’s leadership, as Head of Homecare at Kare Plus, has been pivotal in helping franchisees adapt to recent shifts in industry standards and digital auditing. Through detailed fact sheets and virtual group sessions, Tanya guided franchises through the transition from Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs) to new quality statements. She also developed a custom audit tracker to ensure essential monthly audits are consistently completed, addressing compliance challenges posed by the shift to digital platforms. By fostering open communication, Tanya has created an environment where franchisees can share their challenges and receive tailored support, reinforcing Kare Plus’s reputation for high-quality care.

Tanya’s nomination for the Care Innovator Award is a testament to her leadership, validating her commitment to supporting and advancing the Kare Plus network. “It was a true honour to be nominated for this award. My role is to support the franchisees, and this nomination reassures me that the support I provide is genuinely beneficial to each business.” Tanya shared.
