"It's not just business — it's personal."
When I founded Domestic Support in 2017, my vision was simple: to help household employers understand and meet their legal responsibilities with confidence.
After more than 25 years in Human Resources, I recognised a gap in the household employment sector. While businesses had access to HR professionals and labour law advisors, household employers were often left to navigate complex employment legislation on their own.
Today, I am proud to lead a growing team of specialists in Payroll & Compliance, Tax & Compliance, and Legal & Labour Relations. Together, we share one purpose: providing household employers with complete HR solutions for the home.
