Our Team
Estelle Overton
Managing Director
Estelle and her super friendly and fun personality are a great asset to the culture of Advanced Lifecare. A local of Launceston for the past 18 years, Estelle is married to Nelson and is the mum of four energetic children.
In her earlier years, Estelle lived in greater Sydney and worked at an accounting firm. With her head for numbers, she is a savvy decision maker with a great deal of business sense, all the traits of a great manager.
More recently, Estelle has been increasingly involved with the management of the business and she’s an invaluable contributor to our dynamic team!
Nelson Overton
Emergency Products Specialist
Company founder, husband, and father of four, Nelson is understanding, visionary, and compassionate.
He loves living in, and travelling around Tasmania and knows that it’s the best place on earth, but he also loves to travel further abroad, catching up with friends and family – of which he has plenty!
Nelson is passionate when it comes to healthcare. His depth of both clinical and product knowledge in the areas of pressure management and emergency care are an exceptional resource for our clients.
When you have a problem, he will do his utmost to provide the best possible outcome for you.
Simon Petrusma
Product Consultant
People say Simon is either Australia’s coolest dad or just a big kid! We’ll let you decide.
Either way, at Advanced Lifecare we know him as a ball of energy with a twinkle in his eye and an amazing sense of humour.
Husband and father of three, he’s the quintessential family man who maintains an enviable balance between work and life (yes, we have a great culture here but we all know that family is more important)! An accomplished pianist, soccer fanatic and a once-aspiring school teacher, there really is only one Simon Petrusma.
One of the more experienced members of our staff, Simon began working for Advanced Lifecare in 2012 and quickly earned a reputation among his clients for his efficiency, reliability and positivity – he’s the ultimate team player!
Johnny Tamplin
Product Consultant
Who would have thought a builder-guy would become a healthcare-guy?
Well, that’s what happened with Johnny, one of our product consultants. A practical guy at heart, he excelled in the building industry until September 2016. Since arriving at Advanced Lifecare, he hasn’t looked back.
He’s energetic, driven and ethical – a perfect culture fit. He loves a satisfied customer and will go out of his way to ensure their expectations are not just met, but exceeded.
Yanisae Cruickshank
Administration Manager
Fun, smiles, warm greetings and a little bit quirky – her name says it all and Yanisae embodies these to a T.
She’s often the first point of contact for our phone and shopfront customers - so if you’re a regular, you’ll get to know her pretty well!
She may be young, but she’s an accounts ninja.
She’ll turn any financial mess into a masterpiece, so you can rest easy knowing your account is in safe hands.

Our Contributions
We believe it is important to support both local communities and those who assist in overseas aid projects.
To this end, we have made voluntary donations to such worthy causes as various local charities. We support the work of Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Rapid Relief Team.
The Rapid Relief Team is an Australian not-for-profit initiative, which rushes to major incidents, and provides refreshments for rescue workers.
We also donate clean, sterile products to clinics in developing countries such as Tanzania, India, Thailand, Jamaica and the Philippines.
We support the work of Compassion, who are providing over 20,000 children in 25 developing nations with basic nutrition, shelter, health and care.
The Care for Africa Foundation's work is focused in and around the Tarime district, located in the Mara Region of Tanzania one of the world’s poorest countries. We have donated medical and educational supplies to Care for Africa in order to provide basic healthcare to those in need.
