Care that belongs in your community
PENATS delivers nursing, NDIS, aged care, DVA, mental health, and community services — meeting people where they are, in the way that works for them.
The Platypus Philosophy
Like the platypus — unique, adaptable, and thriving across different environments — PENATS is built to operate across every community, sector, and care setting. No two people have the same needs. Neither do our services.
Healthcare that centres the person, not the system
PENATS — Platypus Education Nursing Assessments Training Services — is an Australian healthcare provider delivering nursing care, disability support, aged care, DVA services, and community programs.
We work within people's homes, in the community, and across non-for-profit and government partnerships. Our model is built around one principle: services should flex to people, not the other way around.
From primary health to mental health and alcohol and other drug (AOD) support, from aged care to community education — we show up where we are needed.
