Company Background
In
the mid 1950's, Marion Edwards founded 'Eastern Suburbs Babysitting
Services'. This was in response to the societal changes wrought
by World War II which resulted in many women entering the workforce
and generally playing a more active role in society, necessitating
the provision of child care services they could trust to look
after their children.
When the current CEO, Shirley Meredith, took over the ownership
and operation of the company in 1973, she started to bring her
vision for a broad-based community care company to life. The company
changed it's name to All Sydney Babysitting Services and on the
basis of its fine reputation established in Sydney's eastern suburbs,
started to offer baby-sitting, nannying and general domestic help
services to families across Sydney metropolitan south.
In 1991, responding to burgeoning demand, the company started
providing home based support services and complex nursing care
to people with disabilities in both the Sydney and Illawarra Regions.
A second company All Parental Care was launched to cater for the
specific support needs of people with disabilities. In 1995, based
on its growing home-based complex care and nursing service portfolio,
Shirley steered the company to win a nursing based contract with
the Pharmacy Guild of NSW whereby nurses were provided to run baby
and specific health issue clinics in pharmacies throughout the
Sydney metropolitan area. This prompted the establishment of the
third company in the umbrella group which is known as APC Medical
Services.
In 1997, All Parental Care Australia was established as a parent
company to incorporate the 3 companies - All Parental Care, All
Sydney Babysitting Services and APC Medical Services - and has
been trading as APCare ever since. Maintaining and growing its
reputation, APCare has since become a registered contractor under
a number of Commonwealth and State Government home based care programs
across South Eastern Sydney, Greater South Western Sydney and across
the entire Illawarra Region (north and south).
