About Us

Care that connects

For more than 65 years, Mecwacare has been supporting older people to live well, stay connected and feel at home in their communities.

We’re a not-for-profit, non-denominational organisation providing aged care, retirement living, home care, disability services, community support and affordable housing across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.

We pride ourselves on a caring, personal approach where your comfort, dignity and peace of mind always comes first.

Whether you’re receiving support at home, moving into retirement living or joining one of our aged care residences, we take the time to understand what matters to you, and support you with care, respect and understanding.

What matters most to us is helping people continue living life in a way that brings connection, choice and purpose.

Today, more than 20,000 Victorians turn to Mecwacare for support, but our approach remains grounded in the same belief that shaped our beginnings: people are at the heart of everything we do.
