Started by a nurse. Run by locals.
Transformative Nursing was founded in Townsville in 2024 by Clinical Nurse Consultant Sean Burnett. Sean’s background in intensive care, emergency and neurosurgery shapes how we look after people with complex health needs at home.
As a local, family-owned business, we wanted to offer something different: the person you meet is the person who supports you. We don’t rotate staff unnecessarily, and we never subcontract your care. Rostering and decisions are made right here in Townsville.
Our focus is simple: the right support, at the right time, with the right people.
