Core offering

Scalabrini operates a network of residential aged care villages, independent living units, home care services, and social housing for older Australians, with a specialization in dementia care, palliative care, and culturally appropriate services for Italian, Greek and other migrant-background (CALD) communities. Revenue is generated through Australian Government aged care subsidies, accommodation deposits and daily care fees paid by residents, plus home care packages and sales of independent living units.

Product overview

Scalabrini operates as a unified platform of aged care and retirement living services, unified by its 'Belong' care model philosophy. The portfolio spans Residential Aged Care (9 villages across NSW and SA including Allambie Heights, Austral, Bexley, Chipping Norton, Griffith, Drummoyne, and two Saint Hilarion facilities in Adelaide), Independent Living (The Palazzo, Austral Retirement Community, The Roma Apartments), Support at Home (Live Easy and Live Easy Social), and Social Housing (Cabrini Apartments). Services are connected through the Belong framework of seven person-centred pillars and supported by pastoral care, with operations funded through a combination of government subsidies and optional services like Club Scalabrini.

Regional players

• ACH Group: Large South Australia-based not-for-profit aged care provider offering residential care, retirement living, and home care services. Directly comparable post-Scalabrini's SA expansion as a regional competitor in the Adelaide market Scalabrini just entered via Saint Hilarion.

Direct peers

• Bolton Clarke: One of Australia's largest not-for-profit aged care and retirement living providers, operating residential care, home care, and retirement communities nationwide. Directly comparable to Scalabrini as a mission-driven, integrated aged care operator competing for similar government-funded residents.
• BaptistCare: Faith-based, not-for-profit aged care, retirement living, and home care provider across NSW, WA, ACT, and SA. Comparable for-purpose operator with similar scale, service breadth, and government-funded resident base as Scalabrini, competing in overlapping NSW markets.
• Estia Health: ASX-listed residential aged care provider with 70+ homes across Australia, focused on premium care services. Direct competitor for government-subsidized aged care residents in overlapping east-coast markets with Scalabrini.
• Regis Healthcare: ASX-listed residential aged care operator with ~70 facilities across Australia. A directly comparable for-profit peer to Scalabrini operating in the same government-subsidy-funded residential care market, though without Scalabrini's CALD specialization.
• Catholic Healthcare: Faith-based, not-for-profit aged care provider offering residential care, home care, and retirement living across NSW and other Australian states. Closely comparable to Scalabrini in mission orientation, funding model, and CALD community focus, particularly on Italian and other European migrant groups.
• Uniting (UnitingCare Ageing): One of Australia's largest not-for-profit aged care providers, operating residential facilities, retirement living, and home care with a faith-based mission. Comparable to Scalabrini in scale, service breadth, and for-purpose ethos, with significantly broader geographic footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Bupa Aged Care: One of Australia's largest private aged care operators with 60+ residential facilities nationally and part of global health insurer Bupa. Broad incumbent operating across all care levels in the same regulatory and funding framework as Scalabrini, though as a for-profit chain.
• Opal HealthCare: Major Australian residential aged care provider with 80+ homes nationally, recently in regulatory spotlight for service-stripping allegations. Comparable broad incumbent competing for similar government-funded residents across most Australian states.

Emerging players

• Ryman Healthcare: NZ-listed operator of integrated retirement villages and aged care facilities, expanding into Australia. Comparable business model combining independent living, assisted living, and residential care in a vertically integrated continuum, offering a benchmark for how Scalabrini's integrated model could scale.
