The College was founded in 2007 by Janet Lawrence and specialises in providing recognised training courses in aged and community care,health and disability.Janet has held several senior nursing management positions through her years in aged care,and is currently a Director of Nursing for a Residential Aged Care facility in Melbourne, Australia.

Janet has a passion for Aged Care and advocates and encourages high standard of care for the older person in residential aged care facilities and in the community.Janet's endeavour to raise the standards of care and improvement of quality of life for older persons living in residential aged care facilities through education motivated her to establish ALACC. 

Janet responded to the ever increasing demand of people from Non-English background, to work in aged, disability and community care by starting a teaching company called ‘Professional Development Consultants’ in May 1996. In order to help several new migrants, Janet provided free education and training in the two years of inception. In the year 2000 a Teaching and Consultancy Company known as ‘Lawrence Aged Care’  was established. However, Janet felt that Lawrence Aged Care Company needed to extend its services not only to the local market but to the international student arena as well. Hence, Australasian Lawrence Aged Care College was established.
