Our Story

Five years of purpose. Decades of impact.

We've grown and evolved to remain at the forefront of quality human services in WA.

About us

Launched on 5 July 2022, PeopleKind Group is the parent company to organisations that empower people to live their best lives. We're a for-purpose company with a rich heritage in disability services that commenced in 1954. As Nulsen Haven, Nulsen Disability Services, Nulsen Group and now PeopleKind Group, we've grown and evolved to remain at the forefront of quality human services in WA.

The formation of PeopleKind Group is designed not just to preserve this nearly 70-year history, but to ensure that legacy endures for decades to come. By strategically broadening the range of human services we offer, starting with the addition of Outcare in 2018, PeopleKind Group is ideally equipped to thrive in our changing modern-day environment.
