From October 2024, Afea Care Services will be known as Leora Healthcare.
This rebrand is the start of an exciting new chapter in our 16-year journey, and an evolution of the compassionate care we’ve been providing to the community.
Our rebranding to Leora Healthcare represents more than just a change in name.
It’s a bold declaration of our commitment to provide the best quality healthcare for every body and every mind.
Leora Healthcare will unite our services under one cohesive brand, encompassing three main divisions: Disability, Aged Care and Mental Health.
Afea has been a symbol of compassion and dedication in the community since 2008, and it is with this same spirit that we embrace our new identity as Leora Healthcare.
Our Story: Afea and Leora
We were founded in 2008 by our Founder and Co-CEO Esha Oberoi.
As she scaled Afea as a disability and aged care service, she saw the challenges her staff and clients faced in accessing timely mental health support. To address this urgent need, she founded and launched Leora AI, an AI-driven platform and mental health service.
We are now faced with an opportunity to unite Afea Care Services and Leora AI under one iconic brand. A refreshed brand that will better differentiate us and align with our long-term vision to provide innovative and comprehensive healthcare services.
Developing the Brand
We took a collaborative approach to brand development.
It was a months-long, comprehensive process that included market research to understand industry trends and the public perception of both the current Afea and Leora AI brands.
We held surveys, in-person workshops and lots and lots of conversations with our staff, clients, carers and Board of Directors, as well as trusted industry experts, to gather valuable feedback and insights.
A Memorable Brand Embodying Modern Healthcare
This rebrand is our opportunity to establish a strong, memorable brand that embodies modern healthcare.
At the core of our brand evolution, we honour Afea’s rich legacy of supporting the vulnerable community for over 16 years. Afea laid the foundation for empowerment, but Leora elevates this ethos to a modern vision that embraces the connection between physical and mental healthcare.
Leora means light and is a symbol of illumination, clarity and enlightenment.
We believe that in every individual’s journey towards leading their best life, there exists a guiding light, a source of inspiration and resilience that empowers them to thrive.
In a world where the pressures of everyday life can dim our inner light, Leora serves as a steadfast companion – as your support worker, your counsellor or a mental health chatbot.
Leora illuminates your NDIS journey.
Leora is a shining beacon of support in the workplace.
Leora lightens the challenges of aging.
Our journey is just beginning! As Leora Healthcare, we continue the important work of providing life-changing care and support.
