Hi, I’m Chris Butler, the founder and director of The National Carer Network (TNCN).

I started this business because I genuinely care about people and want to make a real difference in the disability and aged care sector. For me, care isn’t just a job—it’s a calling.

A Life of Service

Before stepping into this space, I spent 16 years as a frontline police officer in NSW, responding to crisis situations, de-escalating conflicts, and supporting people at some of the hardest moments of their lives. I worked with individuals experiencing mental health challenges, dementia, and trauma, learning firsthand that patience, understanding, and respect are the true foundations of good care. These experiences shaped the way I approach support work—treating every person with dignity, kindness, and a focus on their individual needs.

My personal journey has also played a big role in the person I am today. I grew up in a tough environment and lost my mum to cancer when I was 24. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to live in a way that would make her proud—to be a good person and to help others whenever I can. I have a deep respect for women, a strong sense of fairness, and a belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and compassion.

Why Compassion Matters in Care

I bring this same philosophy into The National Carer Network. I don’t just want to run a business—I want to build a network of dedicated, compassionate support workers who share my commitment to quality care. Whether it’s personal care, community access, employment coaching, home maintenance, or wheelchair transport, I believe that the right support, given by the right people, can change lives.

As a father to two daughters—one studying psychology and the other paramedicine—I understand the value of education, empathy, and working hard for something meaningful. Outside of work, I’ve competed at a high level in baseball, which taught me the importance of discipline, teamwork, and always striving for excellence. These lessons guide how I approach my work: getting things right, paying attention to detail, and making sure every client receives the best care possible.

Building a Network of Trust and Quality Support

To back up my experience with the right qualifications, I hold a Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability & Aged Care), along with Diplomas in Work Health and Safety, Community Services, and Leadership & Management. I also hold a Blue Card and an NDIS Worker Screening Check, ensuring the highest standards of safety and professionalism. My goal with TNCN is simple: to build a service where both clients and carers feel valued, respected, and supported. I know firsthand that the right match between a carer and a client can make all the difference. That’s why I focus on connecting people in a way that fosters real relationships—because care should never feel like a transaction. It should feel personal, meaningful, and empowering. As TNCN grows, I will continue to handpick and train like-minded support workers who share my values and commitment to compassionate care. Together, we can create a network of dedicated professionals who put people first—ensuring that every individual we support receives the care, respect, and dignity they deserve.

A Personal Commitment to Making a Difference

If you or your loved one needs care from someone who truly listens, understands, and cares, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to create the right support, tailored to you.
