As we head further into the year, I want to take a moment to recognise just how busy it’s been across Finley Regional Care and to thank our entire team for the way you’ve continued to step up and support one another. Like many of our recent months, there’s been a lot happening behind the scenes as we continue to navigate significant changes across the aged care sector.
Firstly, I’d like to acknowledge two valued members of our team, Albert and Kylie, who are moving on from FRC. Both have contributed a great deal during their time with us, and it is always difficult to say goodbye to people who have played such an important role in our organisation. On behalf of everyone at Finley Regional Care, thank you for your time, effort and commitment. We wish you both all the very best for what comes next, and you will always be part of the FRC story.
There are also some exciting developments underway across our sites. Civil works have now commenced at Alumuna for the next stage of development. This is a significant milestone, and we are looking forward to seeing homes begin construction very soon. This project represents an important part of our ongoing growth and our commitment to supporting our community with quality housing options into the future.
We are now into our third month operating Biralee, and it’s pleasing to see things progressing so well. I want to particularly acknowledge the incredible support from the Biralee team, who have now become part of the broader FRC family. Their professionalism, care and willingness to embrace change have made this transition a positive one. I’d also like to welcome Kaniz, who joined us in May as our newest educator. Over time, this role will play an important part in growing enrolments and strengthening the service even further.
Across our Medical Centres, the teams continue to do what they do best—providing essential services to our community with care, compassion and understanding. It is something we are incredibly proud of and a key part of how FRC continues to support the broader region.
It has certainly been a big year when it comes to aged care reform. With significant legislative changes impacting both home care and residential care, there has been a strong focus across the organisation to ensure we are ready—not only to meet new requirements, but to continue delivering the high standard of care our residents and clients expect.
Finally, I’d like to remind our community that we currently have availability across both home care and residential services. Whether you or someone you know is looking for support now, or simply planning ahead for the future, our team is always here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—no question is too small.
Thank you again to everyone across Finley Regional Care for your ongoing commitment, resilience and care. It’s what makes our organisation such a special place.
(Ben Levesque, CEO)
