Investor overview · October 2026
Registering under the new Aged Care Act costs $21,940 before you've assembled a single document
Regoready is a product in development for Independent Home Care Package Providers.
The problem
Independent Home Care Package Providers
For small, independent Home Care Package providers who must register with the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission to keep delivering Support at Home services.
- Government fees alone run a minimum of $21,940 — application, category and audit costs — before any help assembling the evidence an audit expects.
- Approval already takes 8-14 weeks, so every week spent organising documents is a week closer to a gap in being able to legally deliver funded services.
- A full compliance consultancy will do this for you, but the fee sits on top of the $21,940 and is quoted per category rather than published.
In their own words
Real quotes from the people who have this problem
The onus on our volunteer board has been extreme.
We were expected to interpret and prepare for substantial changes with minimal support.

Why now
What’s changed
- 01
The Aged Care Act 2024 and the Support at Home program took full effect on 1 November 2025, requiring every government-funded home care provider to hold registration under the new model for the first time. Health.gov.au ↗
- 02
88% of surveyed providers report being overwhelmed by the increased administrative workload, and 100% report operational disruption to their services as a result of the changeover. The Weekly Source ↗
- 03
Approval already takes 8-14 weeks once an application is submitted, so time spent assembling evidence is time a provider can't yet legally keep delivering funded services under the new model. Published pricing
The product
Regoready
Regoready is a done-for-you application assembly service for small Home Care Package providers. Send your existing policies, procedures and staff records, and Regoready organises and formats them into the structure the Commission's registration audit expects, then tracks your application through the approval queue — assembly and organisation, not regulatory advice, at a fraction of a full consultancy's fee.

Send your existing policies, procedures and staff records, along with your registration category.
- 02

- 03
Track your application through the 8-14 week approval queue in one place, so you know where it stands.
Market size
TAM, SAM and SOM
- TAMTotal market
- A$3.27M933 approved Home Care Package providers in Australia (GEN Aged Care Data, Sept 2025) × A$3,500 per registration category assembly — a one-off fee, not a recurring subscription. GEN Aged Care Data ↗
- SAMServiceable market
- A$1.96MAbout 60% of those providers, assumed to be small/independent operators without in-house compliance staff who'd need external help — a share that's an assumption, not a measured split.
- SOMObtainable in 3 years
- A$98K5% of SAM captured over three years (one-off engagements, not annual recurring revenue).
Sizes assume the working price of A$3,500 per registration category, which isn't validated yet, and that this is a one-off engagement per provider rather than a subscription. The 60% small-provider split is an assumption, not a measured figure, and the 5% share is an assumption, not a forecast.

Business model
Flat fee per registration category, one-off
Working price, not yet validated — priced as a small fraction of the $21,940+ in government fees already required.
Regoready costs a fraction of the government fees it helps a provider clear
Regoready doesn't replace the government fees or a full compliance consultancy for complex cases; the comparison shows the assembly service costs a small fraction of what's already being spent to register. Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission ↗
