Important information about our holiday hours

Impact

When you choose BSL Aged Care, you’re choosing more than support — you’re choosing a better quality of life. Our services are designed to make each day easier, safer and more meaningful, wherever you live and whatever your needs. It means feeling confident and supported at home, feeling welcomed and cared for in a residential Home settings, enjoying connection and purpose through social programs, and knowing there is respite when life feels overwhelming.

For some people, this means staying independent and comfortable in the home they love. For others, it means having a safe and supportive place to live, feeling less isolated, managing their health with confidence, or having someone to rely on through challenging moments. And for carers, it means finally having time to rest, breathe and look after their own wellbeing.

Across all our services — community aged care, residential care, respite, social connection, and independent living — our role is to walk beside you so you can live with dignity, choice and independence, today and into the future.

We’re here to make things simple. Our team helps you understand your options, what you may be eligible for, and the support that feels right for your life.

 

Our aged care support

At BSL we do things differently. We take the time to understand who you are, what matters to you and how you want to live. Whether you’re looking for support at home, seeking more connection, or caring for an older family member or friend, we walk beside you with care that feels personal, respectful and right for your life.

If you’re unsure where to begin, that’s completely normal. Many people feel the same way — and we’re here to guide you.

 

What this means for you

When you choose BSL, you’re choosing:

  • support that respects your culture, language and identity

  • a team that listens and works with you, not for you

  • clear pricing and honest communication

  • care that adapts as your needs change

  • someone to call when things feel uncertain

  • services that help you live the life you choose — wherever you call home

Wilma – Support at Home client (formerly a Home Care Package client)

‘I was in and out of hospital and one day I came home and there wasn’t any food in the fridge. Because I’m vision impaired, I couldn’t even go down the street to buy some’, Wilma recalls. ‘Everything changed when I met Michelle. Instead of sitting here, brooding and asking myself what will I do, I know there are people I can depend on.’

Wilma has been receiving support in her home with the guidance and companionship of a Care Partner, Michelle, since 2009. Wilma asserts it has been a life-enhancing relationship and has eased much of the pressure on Wilma and her family.

Margaret and Ian – Day and overnight respite

Ian was a maths teacher who hadn’t been long retired when he had a brain haemorrhage. Margaret, Ian’s wife of 43 years, was reluctant to place Ian in a nursing home and instead brought him home to see what she could do at home herself.

Not long after returning home Margaret found out about Brotherhood Aged Care day and overnight respite services. Ian now attends the services from 9am to 5pm three days a week and Margaret states ‘they’ve been the best support. Some days they would pick him up from my work. That was pretty amazing’.

Randall – Support at Home client (formerly a Home Care Package client)

Randall was the carer for his mother for many years before reaching out to ask for help when it became too much.

Randall now not only has support for his mother, but also for himself. Brotherhood Aged Care offers support when he doesn’t know who to turn to, even if it is just having someone to talk to.

‘I knew I could rely on them to talk things out with. I don’t know where we would be without them or what would have happened. That’s what I was scared of – that was half my anxiety,’ says Randall.
