Decades of care, not a new brand.

Namron Care and Supports is a registered NDIS provider working across South East Queensland and Melbourne. We were caring for people long before the NDIS existed, and the way we work still comes from that.

Christopher Apswoude, Director
Our story

Caring for people since long before the NDIS

Our director, Christopher, has spent more than three decades supporting people with disability. A Monash University graduate with a double degree in psychology, he founded and directed a residential facility caring for 44 men living with intellectual, psychiatric and physical disability.

He then established a service providing housing and support to elderly people and people with disability across Melbourne's inner east. Namron grew out of that work — the same approach, now delivered under the NDIS in two states.

It is why we recruit the way we do. Qualifications matter, but they are not the first thing we look for. We look for compassion, respect, and people who genuinely care.

Technical skills can be taught. Heart cannot.

How we work

Four commitments. Each one is something you can hold us to, and something you can check.

Honesty before sales

We will tell you what is realistic, including when the answer is no or not yet. Turning down work we cannot staff safely is part of the job.

Dignity in every interaction

Participants make the decisions about their own support. Families and coordinators are included, not talked around.

Communication that does not stop

Progress notes after every shift, fortnightly reporting for coordinators, and a phone call the same day when something changes.

We look after our workers too

Supported, well-trained workers who feel valued stay longer. That is what gives participants the consistency they need.

Our team

These are the people who answer the phone, plan the roster and follow up when something is not right.

Christopher30+ years in care leadership
Christopher Director Thirty years in disability support, a Monash psychology graduate, and still convinced that listening properly fixes half the problem. Chris brings calm, common sense and the occasional “SL — Stress Less.”
JoanneBusiness & nursing background
Joanne Operations Manager Twenty-five years in nursing, a strong business brain and a habit of making sure things actually get done. She keeps the wheels turning, the promises realistic and the chaos mostly under control.
CalvinBiomedical science
Calvin Service Manager Calvin is the person who somehow knows which worker fits where, who needs what and what is about to go wrong before anyone else notices. Calm, practical and usually already fixing it.
EbeleDiploma of Community Services
Ebele Service Manager Ebele brings steady energy to mental health and recovery-focused support. She gives people room to think, speaks up when something is not right, and somehow manages to be both gentle and firm at the same time.
VamuyaHR & business background
Vamuya Human Resources Manager Vamuya finds the right people, checks the important things and makes sure no one walks into a shift unprepared. Warm, organised, and still saying “just a quick reminder” when it is reminder number nine.
DhanRegistered Nurse — AU & NZ
Dhan Clinical Lead Dhan keeps the clinical side safe, sensible and easy to understand. He helps workers feel confident and spots what needs attention — because competency should be demonstrated, not assumed.
Christopher sits at the kitchen table rubbing his forehead while Mr Porkie, a brindle boxer, rests a paw on his shoulder. Christopher says: Got a fine today — 41km in a 40km zone. Mr Porkie replies: Mate, that's not speeding, that's just trying to keep the economy alive. Let's just find some snacks.

Specialist areas include listening without interrupting, being present on hard days, and locating snacks. Holds no formal qualifications and has never once let that stop him.

Visual Care

The system behind every shift

Visual Care is our cloud-based care management system. Workers open it on their phone before every shift.

  • Their roster and who they are supporting today
  • The participant's care plan, routine and known risks — read before they arrive, not after
  • Progress notes written after every shift
  • Incidents and concerns recorded straight away, not at the end of the week

Managers review the same records daily — which is how documentation stays current and how a problem reaches us in hours rather than at the next plan review.

What this means for you

Participants and their nominated family members can ask us for their roster at any time — who is coming, and when — and for their care plan, progress notes and any incident records that concern them. Ask once and we will send it regularly rather than only when you chase it. If something in a record looks wrong to you, tell us and we will correct it.
