Right at Home Australia proudly welcomes four new franchises: Northern Territory, Goldfields Grampians Murray, Geelong, and Newcastle Toronto. The new owners recently completed the intensive two-week RightStart™ training, equipping them with skills in care management, HR, marketing, compliance, and more.
Northern Territory
Lyle and Sonia Mackay, the first franchisees in the NT, bring years of experience delivering care under the NDIS and DVA. Sonia is a seasoned Registered Nurse, while Lyle has served in community leadership roles including President of NT Rugby League. They aim to deliver compassionate, culturally sensitive care that promotes independence and dignity.
Goldfields Grampians Murray
Tamara and Andrew Sproull lead this territory. Tamara, a nurse with 25+ years of critical care and health management experience, is passionate about building strong, empathetic teams. Inspired by caring for her father with Alzheimer’s, she seeks to deliver “old-fashioned care” that values trust, respect, and quality of life.
Geelong
Edwina Hill and Lacey McKenna, both Registered Nurses, co-own Right at Home Geelong. With over 20 years of combined experience, they share a vision to provide personalised, professional care to older Australians and individuals with disabilities. Their values—respect, empathy, and continuity of care—guide their mission.
Newcastle Toronto
Michael Laetsch brings eight years of aged care experience to his new role. Starting as a care worker, he progressed to department manager. Passionate about mentoring and leadership, Michael chose Right at Home for its values. Fluent in Japanese and newly married, he looks forward to building his business and serving the community.
