Hello, I'm Andrea Merrick.
With over 25 years of experience in Aged Care, Disability, and Community support, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering caregivers like you.
My mission is to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to provide exceptional care for your loved ones—without the stress and uncertainty.
​
Through my work, I’ve observed a common challenge: many caregivers struggle with the correct use of medical equipment provided by healthcare professionals. This lack of training or familiarity often leads to frustration, injuries, and inefficiencies, making an already demanding role even harder.
​
That’s why I created Handling with Care — to be your trusted guide in navigating these challenges. I provide personalised training, guidance, and support to help you feel confident and capable in your caregiving role. Together, we’ll ensure that you can use equipment safely and effectively, so you can focus on what truly matters: caring for your loved ones with compassion and ease and handling them with care.
Testimonials
"We would have been lost without Andrea. Her caring and compassionate manner, extensive knowledge and experience in aged care and her training skills were invaluable in guiding us in the use of mobility equipment and techniques while caring for our father in his home.
Andrea's ability to assess each new situation and instruct us how to safely move and care for our father, dependent on his level of ability, is a testament to her vast experience in aged care and skills in Manual Handling."
