PRONIA

What PRONIA does

PRONIA (legal name: Australian Greek Welfare Society, ABN 82 005 110 305) is a non-profit community services organization founded in 1972 by Dr. Spyros Moraitis, George Papadopoulos, and Nick Politis, registered and headquartered in Victoria, Australia. The organization operates from two main offices in Brunswick and Oakleigh, with service delivery extending across Metropolitan Melbourne, regional Victoria (Sunshine, Lalor, Reservoir, Preston, Clayton), and Tasmania (Hobart). It employs 251-500 staff and is governed by a Board of Directors with a Senior Executive Team led by CEO Sylvia Hadjiantoniou (appointed September 2024).

PRONIA delivers six core service categories: aged care (including the new Support at Home program effective 1 November 2025 under the Aged Care Act 2024), family and relationships services, disability and NDIS support coordination, mental health and wellbeing programs, family violence and elder abuse services, and prevention and early intervention programs. Specialized programs include Dementia Support Services (STRONGER TOGETHER), Cardiac Rehabilitation Group (the only non-English speaking cardiac rehabilitation program in Victoria, operating since 2004), Greek Family Story Time, Digital Literacy Classes, and a Legal Information Referral Service. In 2020 alone, the Aged and Coordinated Care Unit delivered 176,500 hours of service to over 700 elderly clients per week.

The organization's revenue model rests on three pillars: (1) Australian federal and state government funding through programs such as My Aged Care, the new Support at Home program, and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) on a fee-for-service basis; (2) donations, bequests, and fundraising events including annual Radiothon, dinner dances, raffles, and the 'I Love All Things Greek' Community Directory; and (3) a $6 million Victorian Government commitment funding the Greek Family Story Time program over four years. The organization holds registered charity status and is a registered NDIS provider. Most services are free or government-subsidized, with some co-contributions based on means testing under home care packages. PRONIA's distinguishing proposition is bilingual (Greek-English) service delivery backed by 50+ years of community trust, deep cultural competency, and registered access to government welfare frameworks.
