About the Organisation
At the heart of HammondCare is our passion to improve quality of life for people in need. We are motivated by Christian values which compel us to care for all older people, regardless of their circumstances. Our mission is the driving force behind everything we do, bringing purpose to our work and joy to our hearts. It's why 93 per cent of our team not only believes in our mission but also loves the work they do every day.
Our ambition is to lead in complex care nationally, specialising in dementia and palliative care. We provide direct care in all aged care contexts including residential care, home care and sub-acute hospitals. HammondCare is recognised globally for our expertise in the care of those living with dementia. We support Australians living with dementia and their changing behaviours through specialist programs on behalf of the Federal Government.
Our residential care homes feature the small household model—a research-backed approach we pioneered over 30 years ago. This innovative model is now recognised and recommended by the Australian Government in their National Aged Care Design Principles and Guidelines.
