Queensland aged care provider Carinity is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
The genesis of Carinity was a meeting at City Tabernacle Baptist Church in Brisbane City in 1947, attended by people interested in establishing a Christian home for the aged.
A petition signed by 30 signatories was presented to the Baptist Union of Queensland. An accompanying letter outlined the plight of older Baptists living in Brisbane care homes for the elderly which were “filled to overflowing, and had long waiting lists.”
Resthaven has welcomed international nurses to its workforce, with five nurses recently making the lifechanging move from their home countries to Australia as part of Resthaven’s international sponsorship of skilled overseas workers.

The Australian government has announced an increase in the market price cap for aged care rooms from $550,000 to $750,000, effective January 1, 2025. This adjustment allows aged care providers to charge higher accommodation fees without requiring special approval. The cap will also be indexed annually to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
