Your home for life
Glengara Care is proudly owned and operated by RetireAustralia.
RetireAustralia is committed to providing a genuine alternative to traditional aged care.
Every resident has a unique background, interests and needs. But what brings everyone together is a strong desire for respect, understanding and enjoyment at every stage of life.
These values are at the heart of RetireAustralia’s mission: to build caring communities where each of our residents can age positively and with dignity.
Transforming the RetireAustralia mission into reality is our team of dedicated, experienced individuals whose sole professional commitment is to the happiness, health and wellbeing of our Glengara Care residents and their families.

About RetireAustralia
Our new care apartments are a unique alternative to aged care and form part of our expanding portfolio of retirement villages across New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.
Our philosophy to providing care is centred around autonomy, connection, purpose and healthy living. Every day, we strive to better serve our residents through the homes we build, the communities we create, and the services we provide.
We know that no two people are the same, which is why our 27 villages across New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia are as varied and diverse as our 5,000 residents.
One thing is consistent in our villages: from city to country to coast, you are guaranteed a welcoming and secure environment where you’ll have the freedom and support to live life on your own terms.
RetireAustralia is governed by a Board of Directors and is supported by a management team that includes some of Australia’s most experienced leaders in the aged care and retirement living sector, led by Chief Executive Officer Brett Robinson.
