About the Franchise

Driving Miss Daisy delivers a unique companion driving service combining safe transport with social connection to help clients maintain independence and community engagement.

The franchise caters to seniors, people living with disabilities, families with young children, pet owners, and others requiring compassionate transport for medical, social, or everyday activities.

The business model eliminates the need for a fixed storefront, minimizing overheads and enabling flexibility.

How the Franchise Started?

Nurse Next Door originated in Vancouver, Canada in 2001, founded by Ken Sim and John DeHart after a personal experience seeking quality care for a family member.

The company expanded to franchise its successful home care model in 2007 and has grown to over 400 locations worldwide including Canada, the US, Australia, and the UK.

The Australian arm was launched in 2018 with local co-founders Amber Biesse (CEO) and Matt Fitton (CCO), who adapted the brand to Australia’s regulatory and cultural environment.

The foundational Melbourne location allowed insights and refinements before rapid national franchise growth, resulting in over 75 active territories across Australia as of 2024.
