About us

Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we work and recognise that it always has been, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
We honour the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and pay our respects to all Elders past and present.

Diversity

Consistent with the vision of the aged care sector’s Aged Care Diversity Framework, our work aims for all older people to experience a high quality aged care system that ensures equitable access and outcomes and embraces their diverse characteristics and life experiences.
