AlayaCare acquires Nightingale to expand NDIS and disabilities offerings in Australia

Press Release- 28th October 2025, Sydney, Australia: AlayaCare, a leading provider of cloud-based home and community care solutions, has entered into an agreement to acquire Nightingale Software, a provider of NDIS and home care software solutions in Australia. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

This acquisition strengthens AlayaCare’s presence in Australia, bringing together two organisations with a shared focus on improving outcomes for people receiving care.

Nightingale will continue to operate as its own platform, keeping its trusted client relationships and dedicated team, now supported by AlayaCare’s technology, resources, and innovation.

Together, the two organisations will deliver:

• Continuity and reliability: Clients will continue to receive care from the same familiar Nightingale teams, with services and processes running as usual.
• Enhanced support and innovation: AlayaCare brings technology, research, and operational expertise to help Nightingale deliver even better outcomes for clients, carers, and providers.
• Stronger market presence: The combined organisation expands offerings across NDIS, aged care, and residential care, helping address workforce challenges and improve client experiences.

Adrian Schauer, CEO of AlayaCare, said:

“This acquisition is an exciting step for the care sector in Australia and New Zealand. What drew us to Nightingale was that their platform and values aligned with our own. Together, we believe we can build an offering for the ANZ market that delivers a step change in how care is provided and achieve better outcomes for recipients. By pairing AlayaCare’s innovation and AI technology with Nightingale’s platform and expertise in the disability space we can deliver solutions that make care work easier and more fulfilling while making providers more efficient and successful.”

Annette Hili, AlayaCare General Manager ANZ, said:

“Nightingale has a proud history, particularly in NDIS, and we’re thrilled to welcome their team. Clients will continue to receive the personal support they trust, while Nightingale staff gain access to our technology, expertise, and resources. Together, we can improve care outcomes, increase efficiency, and support providers of care across Australia.”

Sandy Forrest, CEO of Nightingale, said:

“This is an exciting chapter for Nightingale and our clients. We’re are looking forward toworking closely with AlayaCare to explore new ways to improve care, use technology more effectively, and deliver even better outcomes. Our focus remains on supporting our clients and the people they care for.”

The acquisition aligns with AlayaCare’s long-term vision for the Australian and New Zealand care market: using technology and innovation to improve services while keeping people at the centre of everything we do.
