Meeting the needs of communities in Melbourne's west

Victoria is experiencing high demand for residential aged care services to elderly people with low and high care needs, particularly those from challenging socioeconomic backgrounds.

Doutta Galla’s core philosophy is that elderly people from every walk of life receive high quality aged care. Our independent position and community values ensure that senior Victorians, regardless of their background, nationality or faith, have access to a quality living experience at our facilities.

We take our social charter seriously, building social goals into our annual strategic plan. A core goal is the provision of supported placements in our facilities. Over 40% of residents at Doutta Galla qualify for supported placement, a number significantly greater than the state average.

Doutta Galla’s commitment to meeting the gap in aged care services extends to employing and training care workers. Recruiting people in local communities, we offer specialty training and mentoring from experienced nurses and carers. Our training programs provide local employment opportunities for people who care about their community.

Doutta Galla’s philosophy of community support is ensuring the best possible outcomes for the elderly in Melbourne’s western suburbs.

Community and corporate sponsors are vital partners in our social work. To learn more, or make a contribution, go to the support us section of this website.
