Discover the support that is right for you

From support at home and staying socially connected to respite, residential care and carer support — the Brotherhood of St Laurence (BSL) is here to help you live well, stay independent and remain connected to your community.

For more than 80 years, we’ve worked alongside older people to maintain independence, make informed choices about their care, and enjoy a fulfilling quality of life.  Whatever your situation, we use our extensive experience to work with you to explore all your options.

Our aged care services include:

  • Care at home – practical support, clinical and allied health services, and tailored plans so you can live safely and confidently at home.

  • Social connections and Respite – local hubs and activities that bring people together, helping you stay active, make friends and feel part of your community.

  • Residential care – 24-hour personalised care at our Clifton Hill aged care home, a welcoming five-storey residence opposite Darling Gardens that offers comfort, dignity and connection.

  • Carer support – flexible options that give carers time to rest, recharge and continue providing care with confidence.
