Your Life, Your Way: Dovida’s Commitment to Quality Home Care



Dovida provides high-quality, person-centred home care for older people across the Sunshine Coast and Gympie regions.

Proudly family-owned and operated for 14 years, employing more than 250 locals with a mission to empower older people to live their life, their way by advocating for those who choose to live independently at home.

Dovida understand that nearly 90 per cent of Australians want to live independently in their own homes as they age, and are committed to making this possible through quality, compassionate care. With Australia’s ageing population driving demand for home care, Dovida delivers person-centred support that empowers dignity, connection, and choice. They take a people-first approach – listening deeply, responding promptly, and building care around individual needs.

Comprehensive services include everyday companionship, domestic assistance, personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, transport services, dementia care, palliative care and 24-hour care, tailored to individual needs.

All Dovida caregivers are directly employed based on their life experience and personality. Each Caregiver undergoes extensive and ongoing training to ensure the needs of our participants is met. Dovida provides specialised staff development and works closely with health and community partners to ensure consistent, high-quality care delivered by a dedicated team.

At Dovida, they help families navigate aged care reforms and access government funding, offering education and clear guidance through a complex system. Dovida don’t just promote care; they educate and empower individuals to live their life, their way.

Nationally, Dovida are proud to be the fourth largest provider of Government funded packages. Their efforts build trust and highlight care outcomes, positioning Dovida as a known, local presence in the Sunshine Coast community.

They actively engage through seniors’ expos, community events, and caregiver forums; offer educational webinars and printed guides; and maintain strong referral partnerships with local allied health professionals who trust them to extend the continuum of care to their patients.

The Dovida Circle of Care places the individual at the centre of a holistic support system uniting families, their skilled Caregivers, and healthcare professionals. This model ensures every person experiences Dovida’s care philosophy – empowering them to live Your Life, Your Way.

Dovida warmly welcomes enquiries from anyone wishing to learn more about in-home care services. Whether exploring government-funded options, trying to understand the aged care system, or looking to purchase services privately, the team is always happy to help. They take the time to listen, answer questions, and guide individuals and families through the process with clarity and care.
