Our aged care facilities are accredited by the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency and managed by a Director of Nursing. Each facility adopts a policy of ’Ageing in Place’ to ensure that as care needs increase, residents are fully supported in their transition from low care to high care. Our staff provide quality care and support every step of the way to ensure that residents' clinical and lifestyle needs are met.

Eligibility

Each of our residential aged care facilities keeps a waiting list for prospective residents. To apply for a place, prospective residents must be assessed and approved by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).

Please ring the ACAT Team in your area and then forward a completed application to the facility of your choice. If you wish to be considered for more than one facility, please also complete the Preferred Sites Form.

Prospective residents, families and carers are welcome to visit our facilities by appointment prior to application.

Respite care

High and low level respite care can be provided for up to 63 days per financial year. Prospective respite residents must hold a current ACAT approval and attend a pre-admission interview at the aged care facility (Low Care only). For enquiries or more information contact the Aged Care Administration Officer on (08) 8440 2230.

Costs

A schedule of fees and charges is set by the Commonwealth government and is available from the website of the Ageing and Aged Care Division, part of the Department of Health and Ageing. For permanent residents with assets, an accommodation bond may apply.
