Guida
Building confidence to care
"We know how difficult it is for people affected by life-changing health conditions to understand everything going on, to navigate their personal journey in a complex and fragmented health system, and to access the best available care and support for them."
Amanda Nolan, CEO and Founder, Guida
We're on a mission to help every person with a life-changing health condition get the care and support they really need
This starts with informing, educating and training the people who care.
We're changing the way people learn to care for others and take care of themselves.

Why we are here
Guida was founded on the simple view that we can make life easier and better for everyone affected by a life-changing health condition.
We know the difficulties in trying to understand everything going on, trying to navigate complex health systems, and to trying to find or provide the right information, help and support.
Our Founder and CEO, Amanda Nolan, has worked across the health, aging and disability sectors for more than two decades, and been touched personally by loved ones and friends with life-changing health conditions.
She has seen, time and time again, people and their families fall into a chasm of uncertainty and fear after leaving the specialist clinic or hospital, as they are faced with the overwhelming reality of a changed life forever.
She has seen spouses struggle as carers, friends withdraw from people they care about, and carers and clinicians lose the trust of the people they're caring for.
Most people aren't confident caring for and supporting someone, or themselves, throughout a life-changing health journey.
Guida is here to change this.
