Thrive designs websites for aged care homes, home care providers and disability services across Australia. Our Gold Coast team builds aged care and disability websites that families can actually use: accessible to WCAG 2.1 AA, honest about fees and availability, clear about the Aged Care Quality Standards and My Aged Care, and built to turn a worried daughter or son into a tour booking or a care enquiry.
In aged care and disability, the person on the website is usually a family member making a hard decision for someone they love. Thrive Digital designs sites that treat that moment with care: clear, accessible, honest and easy to act on.
Most visitors are adult children researching on behalf of a parent, or participants and support coordinators comparing providers. The site has to reassure, explain and make the next step easy.

"We've had such a great experience working with Thrive, the whole team has been really great to deal with. Our enquiries have gone through the roof - we've actually had to scale back the ads!!"
The daughter researching a home for her father is anxious and short on time. The site answers her questions in order: what you offer, where, what it costs, whether there is a place, and how to visit. Everything else comes after.
Families arrive from My Aged Care or the NDIS with specific words in their heads: residential care, respite, home care package, Support at Home, supported independent living, community participation. The site uses the same words, one page per service.
Aged Care Quality Standards, accreditation outcomes, NDIS registration groups, your complaints and feedback process. The regulator expects it on the site and families use it to shortlist.
Accommodation payments, daily fees, what government funding covers and what it does not, and whether you have a place. Providers that hide this lose families to the ones that do not.
Residents, participants and older family members use these sites. WCAG 2.1 AA as standard, plain language, large tap targets, and Easy Read or translated pages where your community needs them.
Book a tour, request a call, make a referral. Each one a short form that lands with the right person immediately and a phone number that is never more than one tap away.
A residential aged care home needs a site that sells the place and the people, with a tour booking path and honest information about fees and availability. A home care or Support at Home provider needs service pages for each type of support and a clear explanation of how packages and funding work. A disability or NDIS provider needs registration groups, referral paths and accessibility as a matter of course.
Community organisations that do all of this at once need a structure that serves several audiences without confusing any of them. We have built all of these, and the first thing we do on any aged care or disability project is work out who is visiting and what they need to read before they call.
Thrive is based in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast and has designed websites for care providers across South East Queensland, including Brisbane, and nationally. Recent work includes Lions Haven, a not-for-profit residential aged care home on Hope Island; Southport Lodge and HillView Care, aged care providers on the Gold Coast; Umbrella Community Care, an accessible, multilingual community care site; Liberty Community Connect; Global Care Australia; Reframing Autism; and Social Futures.
Projects run by video call and a shared project board, so a provider in Melbourne gets the same process as one in Southport. We also have dedicated pages for NDIS providers, healthcare and medical practices and not-for-profits.
A website only works if families find it. The same team that builds aged care websites runs SEO for the service-and-suburb searches families make, Google Ads for the services you have capacity in, and the digital marketing strategy that ties it together with one report.
Got questions?
It depends on the number of services and locations, whether you need Easy Read or translated pages, referral forms and integrations, and how much of the content we write. Every project starts with a written scope and a fixed quote, so you know the price before we begin.
Most aged care and disability websites take six to ten weeks from the first meeting to launch. Content and approvals are the usual reason projects run long, so we write with you rather than waiting, and we build in stages you can review as we go.
They should be, and the Disability Discrimination Act applies to websites. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA as standard and test it, which covers contrast, text sizing, keyboard navigation, screen-reader structure and captions. For many providers we add Easy Read versions of key pages and translations for the languages your community speaks.
As much as you can. Accommodation payments, daily fees, additional services and what government funding covers, explained in plain language with a pointer to My Aged Care for the formal assessment. Families shortlist on this information, and the providers who publish it clearly win the tour booking.
Yes. We build short forms for tour bookings, care enquiries and referrals from support coordinators or hospital discharge teams, each landing with the right person immediately. For larger providers we connect forms to your client management system so nothing is re-keyed.
Yes. Home care sites need a page per type of support, a clear explanation of how funding and packages work, your service area, and a path for both families and care managers to enquire. We write them for the family reading at the kitchen table.
Yes. We build aged care and disability websites for providers across Brisbane, regional Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Projects run by video call and a shared project board, so distance makes no difference to the result.
Yes. Families search for a service and a place, such as “aged care Hope Island” or “respite care Gold Coast”, and the provider that appears gets the enquiry. We structure the site with a page per service and location so it can rank for those searches, and our SEO team can keep building on that after launch.
Yes. Every site is designed from scratch around your services, your people and your residents or participants. We use your own photography wherever consent allows, because stock images of smiling elderly couples are the fastest way to lose a family’s trust.
We do, if you want us to. Our hosting and support plans cover the server, security updates, daily backups and help with changes, and we train your team so updating services, staff and vacancies is something you can do yourselves.
