Our Story

Why we're here for you

tappON’s founders, husband and wife duo Daniel Hillyer and Maryanne Harris, have personally endured their way through a fragmented healthcare system. Following an accident on 2010, Daniel became a quadrepligic and was thrown into a new way of living.

After years continually being pushed to fit someone else’s roster and struggling to find carers he could really connect with, Dan and Maryanne decided to use their personal and professional experience to create an alternative way of finding and booking support.

Combining Dan’s personal journey and Maryanne’s 10 years of Aged Care experience, they started tappON, designed to provide individuals with choice, flexibility and customer experience.
