OUR SUCCESSES
In 1986, ANCS was founded by Michelle Price OAM, a registered nurse. Driven by her vision, passion and enthusiasm to care for and maintain people in their own homes, she set ANCS' foundation. Michelle was determined to develop a business with sound values and ethics, which continue to underpin ANCS' business principles today. ANCS commenced with two clients and operated out of Michelle's family home. ANCS supports a local charity, Camp Breakaway Inc., a place for people with disabilities to have respite with a difference.
