About
Care that means something.
Astara Wellness was built on a simple belief - that everyone deserves support that truly fits their life, not just their plan.

Person-centred approach
"We didn't start Astara to be just another provider. We started it to do things properly."
From our first day, our goal has been clear - to deliver NDIS support services that genuinely put participants first. Not as a tagline, but as a daily practice.
Every person who comes to us brings a unique set of goals, circumstances and aspirations. We take the time to understand all of it - and build support around what actually matters to them.
Our story
"We saw what good support could look like - and knew we could build something better."
Built in Canberra. Built for people.
Astara Wellness was founded in 2024 by Caden Walker, driven by a deep belief that people with disability deserve more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Too often, participants were receiving support that met a checklist but missed the person behind it.
Headquartered in Canberra and registered to operate across Australia, Astara was built to change that - offering personalised, whole-person support that addresses not just daily needs, but emotional, social and developmental goals too.
Our mission
Empowering every person to lead a fulfilling life - through compassionate, personalised support that builds independence and belonging.
"We started Astara because we saw how much of a difference truly personalised support could make - and we knew we could deliver it better."

Our values
Respect
We honour the dignity, preferences and lived experience of every participant treating each person as an individual, not a case number.
"Every person's story matters."
Honesty
Transparency and integrity guide everything we do. Participants and families can trust us to be open, clear and truthful at every step.
"We say what we mean."
Compassion
Care isn't just what we do it's how we do it. We bring warmth, patience and genuine concern to every interaction, every time.
"We show up, genuinely."
Empowerment
We support participants to build confidence, develop skills and make informed decisions so independence grows with every interaction.
"Your life, your choices."
Inclusion
We celebrate diversity and actively remove barriers to access tailoring our supports to meet each person's cultural, linguistic and individual needs.
"Everyone belongs here."
"At Astara Wellness, our values aren't a checklist they're a living commitment to every person we serve. They shape how we hire, how we train, and how we show up for participants each and every day."
