ATACA is led by Karina Peace — a clinical expert with more than two decades of experience in the aged care sector, including direct relationships with the Department of Health.
We work with the nurses, managers and operators doing the real work of aged care every day — not the executives at the big consulting firms. Our advice is practical, honest and grounded in genuine sector understanding.
Based in Australia and working with providers nationally, ATACA has been delivering consulting and training services for over four years.
