BCR Communities is a well‐established, community‐led not‐for‐profit organisation proudly supporting people across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven for over 35 years. We are a leading local provider of Support at Home, Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and Restorative Care Pathway (RCP) services, delivering high‐quality, person‐centred care that enables older people to live independently, safely and with dignity.
Our clinical and care teams deliver a wide range of in‐home and community‐based supports, underpinned by strong local knowledge, genuine relationships and a deep commitment to quality. At the heart of this work are our care teams who are kind, compassionate and dedicated to supporting our aged care clients to live happy, healthy and meaningful lives. Alongside aged care, BCR Communities also delivers youth, community and disability services across the Bay & Basin region, home to our Activities Hub, Community Centre and Community Radio Station.
