Where It All Began

Welcome to Senate Nursing Bureau a compassionate and dedicated nursing agency born from humble beginnings twenty years ago.

Founded by Annette and Winsome, a mother-daughter duo with a deep commitment to quality Aged care, our agency has grown from a small, local initiative to a nationwide presence, with a team of over 200.

In their early years, Annette and Winsome poured their hearts into the agency without taking a salary for themselves, often accommodating staff in their own homes to ensure quality care was always provided. This selfless dedication laid the foundation for what would become a cornerstone in New Zealand's healthcare sector.

Through hard work and unwavering dedication, Senate has now filled an incredible 93,000 shifts across New Zealand, impacting countless lives with commitment to excellence in nursing care. Annette's journey began as a caregiver herself, instilling in her a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate elder care.

Recently, Winsome and her family embarked on a heartfelt journey across New Zealand, personally delivering gift baskets to care homes from Auckland to Invercargill. This gesture reflects our agency's core values of community and personal connection, ensuring that every care home feels valued and appreciated.

Senate continues to uphold the values of compassion, integrity, and quality care that have defined us from the very beginning. Our mission is to enhance the lives of those we serve, supporting both our clients and our staff with the utmost professionalism and empathy.

Join us in celebrating over two decades of dedication to nursing excellence. We look forward to continuing our journey, making a positive impact in the lives of older persons and their families across New Zealand.
