Aged Care News and Stories

We publish regular stories of joy from across our Care Communities and invite you to share in these stories, videos, insights, news and events.  To us, quality aged care means supporting peoples’ physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social wellbeing and we share those stories here.

At Opal HealthCare we are always striving to improve the wellbeing of the wider community by being a sustainable organisation. In our Social Impact Report, we share some of the many things we do to realise a more prosperous future for our people, places and planet.
