Real impact you can feel good about
There's something special about what we do at Regis. Our hearts and minds approach is at the core of who we are. We know that real care isn't only about meeting needs, it's about truly nowing the people we look after. Real impact isn't measured by numbers, it's felt. And making a meaningful difference today means improving aged care for tomorrow.
With a highly diverse workforce, Regis is proud to support over 10,000 residents and clients across residential aged care homes, home care, retirement living, day therapy and day respite centres. The work we do positively impacts the lives of older people and their families.
