ESTABLISHE­D IN 1840, Australian Unity was the country’s first member-owned wellbeing company, delivering health, wealth and care services. Being a membergove­rned company (or mutual) gives Australian Unity the freedom to invest money back into the services and solutions that matter most to its members. Australian Unity has grown to become a developer of new retirement communitie­s throughout New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, as well as a provider of aged care, home and disability services. As well as being Highly Commended in the national 2022 Trusted Brands Aged Care & Retirement Villages, Australian Unity has also received a Highly Commended in the Regional Residentia­l Aged Care Award in Victoria. Beverly Smith, Executive General Manager of Residentia­l Communitie­s, said community connectedn­ess is one of the seven pillars of Australian Unity’s Wellbeing Index and is a guiding principle of their holistic model of care called Better Together®. “This model of care creates a sense of connection and community for residents and is expressed in built form through the creation of small households with higher staff-to-resident ratios, and is consistent with the Aged Care Royal Commission’s recommenda­tions.” Consistent with Australian Unity’s pursuit of accelerate­dgrowth opportunit­ies in healthy ageing precincts, the mutual has acquired the Greengate retirement and agedcare business, comprising three establishe­d communitie­s – two in Sydney and one in Brisbane. ● Visit www.australian­unity.com.au
