Descriptiontext

Mecwacare is a Victorian not-for-profit aged care provider founded in 1959, headquartered in Malvern, Australia. The organisation operates 22 residential aged care homes across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, supported by 7 retirement villages, 3 affordable housing locations, and 4 opportunity shops. Its service portfolio spans residential aged care (permanent, respite, and palliative), home care through Commonwealth Home Support Programme and Home Care Packages, NDIS-funded disability services, Department of Veterans' Affairs nursing and allied health, retirement living unit sales (serviced apartments through to luxury units at Robin Syme Malvern, up to A$1.225 million), and Ballan Health and Care Services.

The organisation employs more than 3,900 staff complemented by 500+ volunteers, and generates revenue primarily through government-subsidised aged care streams (My Aged Care, NDIS, DVA) augmented by Refundable Accommodation Deposits and Daily Accommodation Payments in residential care, retirement village strata-title unit sales, private fee-for-service care, and charity op shop income.

In 2024-2026 mecwacare executed a $20 million digital transformation programme, formed a partnership with Andromeda Robotics to deploy 22 Abi humanoid companion robots across its residential homes (the largest such deployment in Australian aged care), and completed a $40 million redevelopment of John Hood Terrace in Richmond adding 77 suites. Outpatient and community services are delivered through centres in Malvern East (Barry Fenton Centre), Pakenham (Rivendell House), Cowes Phillip Island, and Tarneit (Penrose Place).

Lifeview disputed these claims, stating it intends to pay entitled wages and has offered a 3% increase, while criticizing the union's request to review company expenditures as outside its role. The dispute centers on how the Fair Work Commission's ruling will be funded by the federal government and whether providers will retain the funding or pass it entirely to workers.MecwacareCalwell Manor aged care Safety Beachmecwacare Calwell Manor, located in Safety Beach, offers a range of aged care services including dementia, respite, and palliative care with 24-hour support.
