Our Services

Aged care services

We’re the largest not-for-profit provider of aged care services in NSW and the ACT, with more than 100 years’ experience providing the best aged care possible. From helping you live independently at home or in our retirement villages to providing 24/7 care at our residential aged care homes, our services are designed to give you the support you need – where and when you need it.

Retirement and Independent living

Our Independent living villages, retirement villages and lifestyle villages cater to people aged 55 and over.

Early learning and childcare

Our engaging, inclusive programs inspire a love for learning that children will carry with them into the future. We encourage unique ideas, interests and strengths, and promote the creativity, connections, confidence and skills to help them reach their full potential.

Disability support services

We design support services around you, focussing on understanding what you want to achieve.

Our supports are designed to cater to the individual’s needs – from drop-in services that promote community interaction and participation, to 24/7 support for those with complex needs.

Children and young people

We stand by children and young people who have lived through trauma, loss and separation. Our services focus on prevention and early intervention, homelessness services, counselling out-of-home care and disability. Our aim is to keep communities and families strong and keep children out of the child protection system.

Families

We offer over 80 programs that stretch from prevention to early intervention, community development, child wellbeing and protection to counselling and mediation. All our programs promote healthy relationships, encourage positive change through education and learning, and build strong, resilient communities.
