Who we are

A small team. Real people. No cutting corners.

Gentle Tide Care is a small, multicultural support team on the Sunshine Coast. We're not a big agency — we're a tight group of experienced adults who take real pride in this work and genuinely care about the people we support.

We keep our team small on purpose. It means you get the same familiar faces, real relationships, and care that doesn't slip through the cracks.

How we help

What we do

Practical, everyday support for individuals with a disability — in the home, in the workplace and out in the community.

Help at home

Showering, bathing and dressing
Grooming and personal hygiene
Meal preparation and cooking
Light cleaning and laundry
Tidying and home organisation

Your NDIS plan will cover the agreed cost of our support worker's time and travel-related expenses. Entry fees and activity costs are the participant's own.

Respite & palliative support

In-home respite so carers can rest
Companionship and calm presence
Practical help around the home
Consistent support during serious illness
Daytime and overnight cover
Reliable short-notice availability where possible

We provide compassionate care and practical support in the moments that really matter — please note our care does not extend to clinical or nursing care.

Our promise

What you can count on

We show up. If we say we'll be there, we'll be there — no chasing, no last-minute let-downs.

Your choice, respected. We work hard to match you with people you connect with and to keep that consistency — and when something changes, we'll always tell you in advance, never just send a stranger.

We genuinely care. We're not here to tick boxes. We care about the people we support and you'll feel the difference.

Honest about what we do. We only promise what we can deliver. If something is outside our scope, we'll say so and help you find who can.

Quality, done properly. Proper documentation, proper agreements, proper care — nothing half-done.

You come first. Your wellbeing leads every decision — never rushed, never pressured, never treated like a task.

Our team

Chosen for skill, and for heart.

Our small team includes experienced support workers with years of hands-on care work between them. We are a multicultural group bringing real life experience and a genuine commitment to our participants.

Between us we speak English, French, Spanish and Arabic — so if language matters for your participant or family, just ask.

Meet the founder

Damien Hennaut

After years of hands-on support work I kept seeing the same pattern: providers grow fast, quality slips, and participants become numbers on a roster. I built Gentle Tide Care to do it differently — keep the team small, keep the quality high, and keep the people at the centre.

We're a multicultural team with real life experience. We've lived, we get it, and we genuinely want to be here. That's not a pitch — that's just who we are.
