Buying an aged & disability support franchise: what to know
How does an aged & disability support franchise work?
Aged and disability-support franchises provide in-home care and NDIS-funded support, coordinating carers for clients. Revenue is recurring and largely government-funded, demand is structurally growing, but the business is heavily regulated and workforce-intensive.
How much does an aged & disability support franchise cost?
An office and systems, recruitment and compliance, and working capital to pay carers before funding is received are the main costs. No retail fit-out, but regulatory setup and insurance are significant. The current Q3 2026 Fee Index median all-in is $89,000–$163,000 across the 14 aged & disability support systems that publish a cost.
Are aged & disability support franchises profitable?
No verified public dataset of Australian aged/disability-franchisee earnings is published. Results depend on client hours, carer utilisation and funding rates against wages and compliance cost. Ask comparable franchisees about client numbers and margins, and have an accountant and a lawyer review the model and NDIS obligations against the disclosure document.
What to check before you buy an aged & disability support franchise
- NDIS/aged-care registration, screening and compliance obligations.
- Carer recruitment and retention in your area.
- Funding/payment timing vs when you must pay staff.
- Territory and local demand for funded support.
