Meet Jarrod Wolhuter
Registered Nurse | Founder of Compass Home Care
With nearly 15 years of experience across acute care, aged care, mental health and palliative nursing, Jarrod has dedicated his career to supporting people through some of life’s most challenging moments.
His work in regional and rural Australia — including supporting Aboriginal communities and caring for people with complex health needs — shaped his belief that high-quality care must be personal, expertise-led, and built on genuine human connection.
Compass Home Care was created so people could receive dignified, clinically sound and compassionate care in the place they feel safest: at home.
Jarrod is known for his calm presence, honest and straightforward communication, and ability to bring comfort even in the most difficult circumstances. His approach blends professional expertise with deep respect for each person’s story, culture, values and preferences.
