When life hits hard, you need a bloke who actually gets it.
Most men don’t need another support worker hovering over them…
‍
You need someone who understands the shock, the frustration, the identity hit, and the stubborn determination to get your life back.
At Blokes Care, we don’t wrap you in cotton wool.
‍
We walk beside you, push when needed, step back when it matters, and help you rebuild the parts of yourself you thought you lost.
Because you’re still a strong bloke — we just help you prove it again.
Our Brand Manifesto.
There's no point in making promises you cannot keep. Let's get right to the point, this is who we are and this is what we stand for.
1. Every bloke has a story worth respecting.
We support men who’ve had their lives flipped upside down.
We don’t care about diagnoses first — we care about the man.
We honour the identity he had, the identity he’s rebuilding, and the space between the two.
2. We give a shit — genuinely.
This work isn't babysitting. It’s not ticking boxes.
It’s being the bloke who shows up with heart, strength, steadiness, and real empathy.
3. Independence over overprotection. Every time.
Our job isn’t to do things for people — it’s to help them figure out how to do things again.
We encourage safe risk, trial and error, and having a crack.
Progress happens outside the comfort zone.
4. Consistency is king.
Our clients go through enough unpredictable stuff.
We don’t add to it.
We show up. Same face. Same attitude. Same standard.
5. We speak like real people.
Plain language. No corporate crap.
We use respect, humour, and honesty, because that’s how blokes connect.
6. Dignity matters. Always.
Personal care isn’t awkward when you treat someone like a man, not a task.
We move slow, communicate clearly, and protect dignity like it’s sacred.
7. We take our role seriously — without taking ourselves too seriously.
A joke, some banter, a bit of shit-stirring — these moments matter.
They rebuild confidence. They normalise the hard stuff.
They remind people they’re still themselves.
8. Our real goal is to make ourselves redundant.
Success isn’t dependence — it’s independence.
We celebrate when a bloke needs us less, not more.
This is the Blokes Care Way. Show up, be solid, treat the man — not the disability — and help him get his life back.

What Makes Blokes Care Different
Not all support is created equal. Men with newly acquired disabilities deal with five massive challenges that most providers ignore. We built Blokes Care specifically to solve them.
1. “No one gets what my life used to be like.”
‍Most support workers don’t understand bloke identity.
They don’t understand what it means to lose your physicality, your routine, your role, your freedom.
‍How we fix it:
‍Male support workers
Shared lived experience
Real conversations
Respect for who you were AND who you’re becoming
You finally get someone who “gets it”.
2. “I don’t want to be treated like a child.”
‍After injury or diagnosis, men get overprotected.
They lose decision-making power.
Everyone tells them what they can’t do.
‍How we fix it:
‍Supported risk-taking
Independence-first approach
You lead, we back you
Empowering language and pacing
You stay in control of your own life.
3. “I’m sick of support workers coming and going.”
‍Nothing kills trust faster than inconsistent staff.
‍How we fix it:
‍One primary worker
One backup (not a rotation of strangers)
Reliable, long-term relationships
Workers trained for stability and emotional steadiness
Progress needs consistency — we deliver it.
4. “Personal care feels awkward.”
‍Let’s be honest: it’s confronting.
Being exposed, vulnerable, or dependent can feel humiliating.
‍How we fix it:
‍Male carers for male clients
Slow, respectful onboarding
Clear communication
Normalisation, humour, dignity
We make the hardest moments feel human and safe.
5. “I don’t want someone who’s just here for a pay check.”
‍You can tell when someone doesn’t care.
You feel it instantly.
‍How we fix it:
‍Values-first recruitment
Emotional intelligence as a requirement
Workers who WANT to do this work
A culture based on respect, strength, empathy, and purpose
You get someone who’s committed — not just rostered.

About Blokes Care.
Hi, I’m Tom Sijm, founder of Blokes Care.
Over the last decade (and a bit), I’ve worked with hundreds of men — and I’ve noticed one thing that comes up time and time again: there aren’t many caring blokes out there who have both the empathy and the blokiness that men living with disability are looking for.
Especially those who’ve only recently found themselves in a new situation after injury, illness, or trauma.
We all know how important it is to have other men in our lives who help us through the tough stuff — the men we look up to, the older fellas who’ve been there before, our coaches, our dads, our brothers. That connection matters.
At Blokes Care, we don’t see ourselves as role models or heroes. We’re just blokes supporting other blokes to live the best life possible. We’re here to listen when things get heavy, share a laugh or some cheeky banter when it gets awkward, and give you a nudge when you need it most. Because that’s what blokes do.
So if you’re looking for support but you’re not keen on services that send someone who doesn’t get how your clock ticks — give us a buzz. We’ll meet you where you’re at.
What’s the worst that could happen?
Tom Sijm
Our dream is to make ourselves redundant.
‍If we’ve done our job well, we’ve walked beside you while you’ve done the hard work to get to where you want to be. We value long-lasting relationships, but our ultimate goal is simple: that one day, you won’t need us anymore.<3
