Share
New Zealand-listed Ryman Healthcare is extending its portfolio of retirement villages in Victoria, with a $30 million deal to acquire a site in Melbourne’s south-east where it plans to build single-storey villas for the first time.
Ryman’s 12th land purchase in the state is a 4.6-hectare site on Jackson’s Road in Mulgrave. The New Zealand player opened its first facility at Wheelers Hill in Melbourne in 2014, the Weary Dunlop Retirement Village, and now has more than 900 residents in Victoria, with five villages up and running in the state and seven more under development.

Catholic Health Australia has welcomed the Federal Government’s formal response to the Royal Commission in Aged Care calling the $17.7 billion package a landmark moment for older Australians.
CHA is part of the Australian Aged Care Collaboration (AACC), which represents more than 1,000 providers, which tonight congratulates the Government on accepting 126 of the Royal Commission’s 148 recommendations.
After 20 government reviews in 20 years, this Budget, and the government’s response to the Royal Commission’s recommendations, finally addressed many of the challenges facing aged care.
CHA said the suite of measures will enable more Australians to be cared for in their home, increase the number of care minutes and provide more training for carers and the incentives for them to stay.
Caritas Australia welcomes over $350,000 raised by Catholic Health Australia and its members to support PNG during COVID-19 crisis
Format
The money is more needed than ever, as PNG continues to face a devastating outbreak of COVID-19.
More than 11,000 cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in PNG, but due to low testing rates the real number is assumed to be much higher. There is currently a lack of available tests as well as long waiting times to receive test results, meaning that there are far more active cases than reported. Although weekly case numbers have started to fall, there are still cases across all provinces, and the already fragile healthcare system is overwhelmed.

Catholic health and aged care operators are calling on government to create clear lines of communication to avoid the confusion that beset the sectors at the height of the COVID pandemic.
A new review into operations, Lessons Learnt from COVID-19, has found multiple data requests, junior staff in the bureaucracy as contacts, and a surge workforce that was untrained and unprepared to work with COVID-affected patients were some of the challenges facing operators.
The report was compiled by Catholic Health Australia in conjunction with Australian Catholic University, and surveyed executives from four major providers in Victoria: Mercy Health, St John of God Healthcare, St Vincent’s Health Australia and Villa Maria Catholic Homes.
