Lumia Care, backed by Pemba, continues to scale by partnering with I-Nurse, PRN Healthcare, Healthcare HQ, and JB Care, bolstering the presence along the Eastern Seaboard and marking a new milestone on Lumia Care’s exciting growth journey.
THE PARTNERSHIP
Pemba supported the partnership of high-grade healthcare businesses across the nursing, home care, and disability services sectors, creating Lumia Care, a leading national healthcare staffing and services group in April of 2022. Lumia Care was seeking to further expand their market-leading nursing and NDIS service offerings. Leveraging Pemba’s proprietary origination function and deep domain expertise, four high-quality and strategically aligned businesses were identified each providing exceptional service to their respective catchments.
About I-Nurse, PRN Healthcare, Healthcare HQ, and JB Care
I-Nurse, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Melbourne, specialises in delivering tailored nursing solutions to hospitals, aged care facilities, councils, and the wider community. I-Nurse’s people-first approach to care resonates with Lumia Care forming a natural partnership between the two businesses.
PRN Healthcare is a premier nursing agency drawing on decades of expertise to provide personalised care to those in need across Brisbane and the Gold Coast. PRN provides comprehensive staffing and recruitment services to hospitals, government facilities, aged care organisations and day clinics.
Healthcare HQ is an experienced provider of nursing and healthcare services to Sydney Metro and Greater Sydney regions.

As a registered NDIS provider, JB Care offers an extensive range of disability support services.
BACKGROUND TO PEMBA’S INVESTMENT
Pemba identified a high degree of fragmentation in the healthcare sector, capitalising on the opportunity to aggregate leading healthcare staffing and services businesses to form Lumia Care. By combining these nationwide businesses across nursing, home care, and disability services, Lumia Care aims to provide a unique and differentiated offering for patients across all care settings. The Pemba team worked closely with Lumia Care’s management team to identify key criteria for potential acquisitions, including operational and cultural alignment and strategic diversification.
THE VENDOR’S PERSPECTIVE
THE FUTURE
Pemba will continue to support Lumia Care in driving organic growth initiatives and through identifying and supporting additional acquisition opportunities, consolidating their position as a leading Australian Healthcare service provider.
