”We have a shared mission to strengthen communities by valuing people and supporting them to have hope, dignity and fullness of life. As we move forward, our focus is on continuing to improve outcomes for those we serve,” Farren said. “The sectors we operate in are under increasing pressure and scrutiny but coming together gives us the opportunity to enhance services to customers as well as provide greater choice, flexibility and diversity of services, and increase advocacy for vulnerable people and communities.”
The new organisation will continue to provide the broad range of services that current customers value and depend on.
”With increasing demand for services and mounting regulatory pressures, BaptistCare is uniquely positioned to champion sustainable solutions, from aged care to affordable housing and homelessness to retirement living. Moore said. ”We’re committed to our incredible team and providing a great employee experience, using our voice and expertise to drive change, securing essential funding, and pushing boundaries to ensure no individual or community is left behind.”
