Aged Care Mate https://AgedCareMate.com.au

It’s a modern way to navigate and find home care providers in Australia. We built it after working in the industry and seeing families struggle a lot with navigating the complex aged care system (at a time in their lives which is already very stressful).

It’s very early days but it has been very enjoyable to think back on all the issues and pain points we saw in our careers and build solutions around these.

Hopefully it helps some Aussies and their parents with staying in their own home, and in feeling more confident with the decisions they make through the journey.

The stack is: Nuxt for the front-end, Postgres, and FastAPI for the backend. We set up Zoho instead of Microsoft or Google Workspace and it’s been very smooth so far (and more cost effective).

One fun part of the dev work has been learning all the magic of PostGIS - if you ever have an idea that involves geospatial data or maps, go ahead and try build it with PostGIS in the db.



PostGIS should be the standard for anything geospatial, such feature packed, combined with Mapbox for frontend.


Having read just the name I assumed it was a brewing project dealing with mate (drink) aging.
