We build music wellness tools that make it easy for anyone to manage their mental and physical health. Our Music Wellness Technology (MWT®) finds the right music that helps you calm the mind, improve your mood and activates your long term memory. Did you know that good brain health can reduce the risk of dementia by up to 40%? Our first tool is called Vera - created to help our ageing population stay independent for as long as possible. We use the right music to help keep the brain active and help reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Vera is like a detective, and uses our proprietary MWT® to profile an individual to find the songs that form the soundtrack of their life. www.veramusic.com

There is no doubt that we live in times of profound change and disruption. It has become obvious how we as humans, our systems and institutions are currently not able to cope with the global challenges that we face. If we want to create positive systemic change we need to fundamentally shift the way we are operating –from the inside out – on an individual level and as a collective. SARSEN™ was founded on the core belief that the combination of wisdom, integration and action will enable us to address the enormous problems and opportunities that lie ahead for humanity.

Like Family is on a mission to reduce social isolation and loneliness. We help Australians who are ageing, ill, injured or living with a disability to connect with social support in their local area. Our support workers, who we call Social Carers, assist with activities that promote community participation and independence, like help with household tasks, exercise, transportation, skills training, and a buddy for social events. We believe in creating meaningful and long-lasting relationships. For this reason, we combine matchmaking algorithms with a dedicated Customer Care team to connect Members with the right Carer, not just any carer. If you’re looking for social support for yourself, a loved one or a client, you can contact us at 1800 545 332 or hello@likefamily.com.au Note: Like Family rebranded from Home Care Heroes in 2020.
