InteliCare Advances Commercial Rollout with $8.8M mecwacare Contract

Major Contract Signals Commercial Inflection

InteliCare Holdings (ASX:ICR) is accelerating its transition from pilot projects to full-scale commercial deployment with a landmark $8.8 million, five-year contract signed with mecwacare, Victoria’s largest aged care provider. The deal covers deployment of InteliCare’s AI-powered monitoring platform across 22 residential aged care facilities housing over 1,600 residents. This contract marks the largest in InteliCare’s history and anchors a recurring SaaS revenue stream that underpins the company’s growth ambitions.

The mecwacare partnership follows a successful pilot at its Trescowthick facility, where the platform demonstrated 100% falls detection accuracy and a 25% reduction in hospitalisations. The pilot also delivered operational benefits including a 95% reduction in overnight welfare checks, freeing up staff time and improving resident wellbeing. mecwacare’s CEO Anne McCormack described InteliCare as a “long-term strategic partner” in reshaping aged care delivery.

Technology Proven, Ready to Scale

InteliCare’s solution integrates smart sensors, wearables, and IoT devices with proprietary AI to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of residents’ health and activity. The platform supports proactive care decisions, early detection of deterioration, and compliance reporting, while integrating with existing nurse call systems to consolidate alerts and reduce alarm fatigue.

The company highlights measurable outcomes from its technology, including a 12.5% improvement in staff and resident satisfaction and significant staff time savings through automated reporting and equipment tracking. Its SaaS-based revenue model combines upfront hardware and implementation fees with annual platform licenses, providing a scalable and lucrative business model across residential aged care, retirement living, and home care sectors.

Leadership and Market Expansion

InteliCare appointed Angus Cameron as CEO in early 2026 to lead the commercial growth phase. Cameron brings over 30 years of global health and aged care experience, including senior roles at Philips Healthcare delivering digital transformation solutions. His leadership is expected to drive deeper penetration of InteliCare’s platform across the 2,700+ residential aged care facilities nationally, using the mecwacare deployment as a blueprint.

Beyond residential care, InteliCare is expanding into retirement living with a three-year master subscription agreement with Warrigal Care in NSW/ACT. The initial deployment covers 65 villas with a contract valued at approximately $200,000, with potential to scale across Warrigal’s 10 villages serving around 700 residents.

Industry Tailwinds and Challenges

The aged care sector faces significant pressures, including workforce shortages, rising care complexity, and financial strain with many homes operating at a loss. InteliCare’s AI-driven platform addresses these challenges by enhancing clinical visibility, improving operational efficiency, and supporting better resident outcomes. The company estimates a market opportunity spanning federal government-funded residential care, home care, and retirement living sectors, collectively worth tens of billions annually.

InteliCare’s commercial momentum is supported by a growing pipeline of opportunities and strategic partnerships, including the Hardi Aged Care deployment in Western Sydney, which involves six facilities with over 600 beds and a contract value of around $2.9 million. The company is focused on completing rollouts, expanding scope with nurse call system integrations, and establishing an advisory board to guide growth.
