About CTARS
CTARS was founded in 2009 and has supported Australian care providers since 2010 — designed and built by clinicians and human services staff who understand the work.
CTARS began after observing the day-to-day challenges of providing care in the human services industry. The goal was simple: use technology to create a collaborative, real-time care system that enables the highest quality of care for the most vulnerable members of our community.
Today CTARS supports NDIS, out-of-home care and community care organisations across Australia — with a team based primarily in Sydney and members along the East Coast.
Our team

Brendan founded CTARS after observing Dr Lisa Fahey’s activities and challenges in providing care in the human services industry.

Brendan has worked closely with Lisa in their clinical consulting business, Quovus.
