Watch Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) Australia’s interview with Eldercare resident Sue about her experiences in aged care.

ElderPRIDE is our commitment to supporting LGBTIQ residents, family members, staff and volunteers to ensure everyone feels welcomed and safe. In September 2019, we received Rainbow Tick accreditation in recognition of our LGBTIQ inclusive practices.
