Our History
It has been long known that as we aged, we gradually lose our abilities, our independence, our friends, and social isolation becomes the number one risk factor in our lives. Amongst other things, the risk of homelessness in older people are on the rise, especially in women over the aged of 55 years. It was through this observation and published research papers, that a group of friends, passionate about aged care, decided to make a difference and AUSCC was established in August 2021.
Our aim is to support older Australians, towards ageing well. In providing a place where they feel safe, where they are recognised and where they belong. We believe every older person has a rich lived experience and capacity to still contribute to society and this believe led us in forming our vision – a place where everyone belongs and where we can share, connect and care for each other, and our mission - where we can all THRIVE no matter your age!
This year, we celebrate new beginings and acknowledge the birth of a new Not-For-Profit organisation – AUSCC.
