# The Perception Collective

> The Perception Collective (TPC) is a Sydney-based strategy and technology agency led by founder and CEO Ben Lenzo. We assemble the exact specialists a project needs to build custom platforms, implement Zoho One, harden cyber security, streamline operations, and advise founders on strategy and capital. Australian English; sharp, anti-jargon, outcomes-first.

## Healthcare & Care sector

- [Healthcare](https://theperceptioncollective.com/healthcare/): Technology for the whole care sector: families coordinating care, NDIS and Aged-Care providers, small-provider compliance, rare-disease registries and health education. Products referenced: Family Member Care (rostering, support-worker timesheets and care coordination, with a Provider tier for larger NDIS and Aged-Care providers above ~200 clients or support workers), the NDIS & Aged-Care Provider Kit (a one-off $55 +GST compliance toolkit for smaller providers up to 200 clients and support workers), and The Care Card (a no-server app that keeps a person's care summary on their own device). Around 30,000 shifts, case notes and reports have been processed through Family Member Care and the Provider Kit.

## Tools
