About Ankang

The caring children of every elderly client we look after.

Ankang — 安康 — means peace and good health. It's the standard we hold ourselves to. Warm enough to feel like family. Expert enough that families trust us with the things that matter most.

Ankang team
Our story

Built by nurses. Run like family.

Ankang was founded in Box Hill in 2023 by aged-care nurses who saw the gap firsthand. The big agencies were too complex. The community options were too informal and not clinically focused. And almost nothing was bilingual at the level that matters most — leadership.

So they built what was missing. Today our team supports older Australians and their families across Melbourne's East and South-East, led by Registered Nurses who still answer the phone.

Every person we hire is held to one standard — would we trust them with our own grandmother?

The answer has to be yes. Always.

Our mission

Help every older Australian who chooses home, stay there.

We coordinate the people, the schedule and the paperwork — so the family can focus on being family.

Our vision

Aged care that feels like care, not a service.

A future where every older person in Australia has the warmth of family and the expertise of clinicians, on their terms.

Our values

Honour. Organised. Motivated. Excellence.

H.O.M.E — Four words we test every decision against — from how we hire, to how we write a quote, to how we answer the after-hours line.

Meet our care managers

The people on the other end of the phone.

Every Ankang client has one care manager. They're the single point of contact, the human who knows your story, the one who picks up the phone when something changes.

What families say

The kind of help you'd want for your own parents.

“Mum was suspicious of having anyone come into the house. Li from Ankang sat with us for two hours, in Mandarin and English, and by the end Mum was asking when she could come back. Three months in and the change has been remarkable.”
Mrs. Wong
Daughter · Glen Waverley
“I felt completely lost after attempting to understand what is available for my dad through My Aged Care. The Ankang team helped me patiently and helped me navigate all the available options around aging at home.”
Richard T.
Son · Box Hill
“I wanted to stay in my own home. Ankang made that possible without making me feel like a patient. The cleaner is gentle, the nurse is kind, and they ring me on my birthday.”

Client · Camberwell · 78
“They explained and discussed Support at Home with us openly and teansparently. We feel very safe when discussing cost and fees with the team memnber. Honestly, the consultation alone was worth it.”
