About

Hi,
We're Mat and Jenna
Nope, it’s not a bird or a plane — it’s Mat and Jenna, the dynamic duo behind Home Care Heroes. Back in 2015, when their family most needed a Hero, no one came to the rescue. So this husband-and-wife team turned lemons into lemonade, and created Home Care Heroes.

It all started when Mat moved from Montreal to Sydney, and brought his parents along so he could support them. Mat’s dad was recovering from lung cancer and his mum was recuperating from a brain virus called encephalitis.

With their busy 9-to-5 jobs, Mat and Jenna couldn’t always be there to give his parents around-the-clock care. They didn't need medical care, they just needed help getting around their neighbourhood and wanted good company and social activities to connect with the community around them. In short, they needed a Hero.
