Our Story
Apex Care was founded by Wendy Harding, whose passion for quality care has been shaped by more than three decades of experience across the health sector, working in a range of roles and organisations.
What began with a commitment to providing compassionate, quality support has grown into a trusted organisation with a strong reputation for connecting people with skilled, experienced and caring kaimahi.
Today, Apex Care is proud to have a dedicated team of highly trained support staff who bring experience, compassion and genuine connection to the people they support. Our kaimahi provide a wide range of support, tailored to the individual needs, goals and circumstances of each tangata whai ora.
Supporting the Whole Person
We specialise in providing experienced and compassionate kaimahi, with a particular focus on supporting tamariki and rangatahi. We understand that every person and every situation is different, which is why we take the time to carefully match our kaimahi to the needs, environment and goals of each individual we support.
As a Social Services Accredited organisation, you can have confidence that our kaimahi are carefully selected, appropriately screened and supported to provide safe, professional and consistent care.
We work alongside both public and private sector organisations, offering flexible staffing solutions to meet a range of needs. Whether you require short-term or long-term support, planned staffing or an urgent response, our team is here to work alongside you and find the right solution.
Our approach is built on genuine connection, reliability and respect. We pride ourselves on providing kaimahi who bring the right skills, experience and values to each support environment.

At Apex Care, we recognise that wellbeing is personal and that every individual has their own culture, values, experiences and way of doing things.
Alongside professional support, we value traditional approaches to healing, tikanga and culturally responsive practice, ensuring our support reflects the needs and preferences of the tangata whai ora and their whānau.
Our approach is centred on respect, connection and holistic wellbeing — supporting the whole person, not just the need.
At Apex Care, we are committed to providing high-quality, person-centred support to individuals, whānau and organisations across the mental health and disability sectors.
