If you want to make a difference and contribute to local community with your new business, the Right At Home franchise could be right for you.

The business is all about at-home care with services including companion, nursing and personal care, domestic support, and allied health services.

Right At Home started way back in 1995, franchising the concept 20 years ago and bringing the model to Australia in 2016. During the difficult Covid-19 year, Right At Home reported record growth; this $30bn market is only expected to grow more.

With an ageing community it is a relatively recession-proof business, it suggests, backed up by a 30 year prediction for continued expansion in this sector.

Today Right at Home is one of the largest global home care franchise networks, with more than 650 locations operating across seven countries, and bringing in an annual revenue of $700m.

In Australia, the services the 31 Right at Home offices provide affect more than 26,000 people every day.

Typical customers are older Australians, people living with a disability and people recuperating at home after a hospital stay.

It will cost from $200,000 to invest in a 10 year franchise term which includes two weeks of initial training, ongoing learning and support.

Franchisees aren’t required to have any healthcare experience or to have been business owners. In fact, franchisees come from all walks of life – nurses and allied health professionals who have seen the market opportunity – as well as ex-corporates.

Its flexible work model suits families, and many franchisees are couples.

There are business opportunities in the Right At Home network across Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, Western Australia and New South Wales coastal regions.
