Time to shine
Our exceptional care, support and living options have been recognised nationally and internationally.
Nurse Practitioner of the Year
Congratulations to Dr Elizabeth Crock who was named Nurse Practitioner of the Year at the 2024 Australian College of Nurse Practitioners Awards.
The award recognises Liz’s exceptional contributions and dedication to nursing including four decades caring for people living with HIV/AIDS. As Nurse Practitioner in our HIV team, Liz supports people living with HIV in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula with specialist needs including clinical nursing care, care coordination and pain management.
Health and wellbeing
The science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) program at Montclaire residential care home won the Health and Wellbeing category at the 2024 Future of Ageing Awards.
The program provides residents with opportunities to explore new and existing interests through fun and engaging activities such as learning 3D printing and interacting with an artificial intelligence (AI) robot.
Montclaire Lifestyle Coordinator Julie Roppola won the Individual Innovation award at the 2024 Aged & Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA) Excellence Awards for her work in establishing the program.
Employer of choice
We were named on The Australian’s Best Places to Work list and were once again an Employer of Choice in the Australian Business Awards 2024.
These awards reflect innovative approaches to areas such as training and education programs, educational scholarship opportunities and access to comprehensive professional development.
Workforce innovation
Our International Sourcing team was named Mobility Team of the Year at the 2024 TEMi Australasian Workforce Management Awards. The team was recognised for their work in supporting Australia’s largest Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) intake under the Aged Care Expansion program.
Since 2018, many team members have joined us through the PALM scheme. This year we welcomed 98 personal care workers from Fiji who are now based at 17 residential care homes in regional and remote locations across Queensland and New South Wales.
Design excellence
Willowdale residential care home and Callisto Place retirement community have both been recognised as finalists for several excellence awards, highlighting their thoughtful and modern designs which have attracted strong interest in their local communities.
Princeton View residential care home at Brighton East received Best Heritage Renovation or Restoration at the 2024 Bayside Built Environment Awards. Originally constructed in 1882, the home provides residents with a unique living experience combining traditional architecture with modern features and comforts.
We were also a finalist in the Excellence in Community Engagement category at the 2024 Urban Developer Awards for the proposed retirement living community at New Farm in Brisbane.
