Esse Care has been a reliable name in aged care and disability support across Melbourne since 1988. As a registered NDIS and Home Care Package provider, we offer compassionate, clinically backed in-home care and nursing for seniors and individuals with disability. Built on a foundation of integrity and transparency, we make no empty promises—only dependable, ethical service. Trusted home care and NDIS provider in Melbourne. With a multicultural, multilingual team, we prioritize dignity, understanding, and respect in every interaction. For over 35 years, we’ve proudly supported Melbourne families with trusted care and unwavering commitment.
True care begins with understanding — not just health needs, but the language, culture, and values that shape a person’s daily life. At Esse Care, we deliver culturally appropriate, language-aware aged care services designed for Melbourne’s diverse communities.
Whether it’s preparing culturally familiar meals, celebrating holidays, or simply speaking in a client’s native tongue, our carers and nurses ensure older Australians feel respected, recognised, and at home.

Whenever possible, we match clients with carers who share their language or cultural background. This ensures meaningful, connected support — and a better overall care experience.
Our aged care services are designed to honour your heritage, not override it. This includes:
We also work with families to ensure care plans reflect shared values and expectations.
