ALACC was founded by Janet Lawrence, FRCNA, CEO and Director of Studies ALACC and, Director of Nursing Viva Care. It was established as an incorporated company in November 2006, a Registered Training Organisation in January 2007 and received its CRICOS in May 2008 and Full AIWCW in September 2009.  

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. The parent company, Lawrence Aged Care College continues to remain a Consultancy company, providing Consultancy services to residential aged care through Director of Nursing services, and commonwealth services as an Administrator and Advisor to aged care facilities and External quality assessor for the Aged Care Standards agency.

Lawrence Aged Care Services are now incorporated with ALACC since October 2009 thereby combining the variety of services offered

• Training and Assessment
• Director Of Nursing Services
• Consultancy with Education

• Commonwealth Administrator & Adviser for Aged care
