Our Values
Community
We hold safe spaces like a village would, to minimise the loneliness of modern living.
Learning
We believe learning is lifelong, and we use research to upskill and serve our clients well.
Wellbeing
We see the person behind every need and bring hope and dignity during vulnerable life transitions.
Care
We show our care through robust compliance and safety processes which every family can rely on.
Making a Difference
We lead with empathy and professionalism, believing that acts of kindness make a difference.
Collaboration
We support our team internally through job share, and partner with external providers to bring clients the best possible care.
Our Why
Life may move you across cities, sometimes countries — let Steady Nest hold space, like your village would. The numbers below aren't abstract: they're the mothers, children, and older Australians we support every day, because it takes a village, and every family deserves one.​
1 in 5
Parents:
In Australia, 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experience perinatal anxiety or depression. We offer practical, nurturing support in the early weeks and months - alongside any clinical care you may need.
55%
Motherhood & Work:
Mothers’ income can drop by 55% in the first five years after having a baby. We understand that stay-at-home mothers need flexibility and income, so we build shifts around their family needs.
1 in 7
Children:
Around 1 in 7 children aged 4–17 experience a mental health condition each year. We provide nurturing care that helps children build self-esteem, confidence, and a strong sense of who they are.
58%
Over 50s & Work:
58% of job-seekers over 50 report facing age discrimination when looking for work. We help empty nesters share their wisdom and time with younger families, and earn a flexible income.
1 in 4
Older Adults:
1 in 4 older Australians report feeling lonely, whether family have moved away or the nest has emptied. We bring the village to them — outings, companionship, and a shared cuppa at the kitchen table.
