Salvo’s $300m redevelopment of aged care facilities in QLD, NSW and ACT

The Salvation Army Australia Eastern Territory has announced a $300 million redevelopment of its aged care capital works programs across Queensland, New South Wales, and the ACT, in partnership with Westpac.

The Army’s Southern Division, covering other states and territories has divested itself of its residential aged care facilities.

The director of Salvation Army Australia Eastern Territory, Aged Care Plus, Major Cec Woodward, said that over the next three years they would be opening seven new facilities in Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Brisbane and Ipswich.

These new centres would complement the current facilities and in some cases replace or extend existing buildings.

The Salvation Army Australia Eastern Territory’s current services include over 1,400 residential and respite aged care beds. The new projects will include an additional 417 independent living units. In addition to these new facilities, The Salvation Army has also applied to the Federal Government to increase its involvement in Community Aged Care Programs.

Major Woodward said: “This is a significant investment for The Salvation Army in this Territory and we are able to make this move due to the sound management processes within The Salvation Army structure. We are committed to aged care in the long term and confidently expect that these upgrades will help meet the need for aged care facilities.”
