Why We Were Nominated:

The Outstanding Community Organisation Award celebrates not-for-profit organisations that deliver measurable outcomes to improve community wellbeing. Garden Village’s recognition reflects over 45 years of local service and our commitment to supporting people to age safely, independently, and with access to the care they need when and where they need it.

With an ageing population, the number of residents over 75 expected to double by 2040. Garden Village is planning ahead. We’re growing with purpose, to support the next generation of ageing Australians and the Garden Village Masterplan is designed to meet the needs of the community. Garden Village employs 300 local staff and work with over 100 regional suppliers. We are proud to play an active role in shaping the future of housing, health and ageing in our community.
