In this episode of Owner Insights, we sit down with Meg Paech – founder of Yellow Door Care – whose quiet determination has built one of Adelaide’s most trusted in-home care providers.
Ten years ago, after 25 years as a nurse, Meg saw a gap in the market when her father-in-law needed care. What began as a deeply personal mission has grown into a business employing over 150 casual staff and delivering 3,000 hours of care every week to clients under the NDIS and Aged Care systems.
Meg is an incredibly humble entrepreneur – someone who dislikes selling, found early business meetings with bankers intimidating, but always knew she wanted her own business.
She shares how she’s grown Yellow Door while staying true to her values – keeping the business family-owned, resisting multiple offers to sell, and maintaining a personal touch in an increasingly complex industry. With all three of her kids working in the business and her twin sister Chris as Operations Manager, Yellow Door is a true family success story.
This is a refreshing conversation about doing business your own way – and staying grounded while making a big impact.
