VMCH has purchased Cabrini Health’s 90-bed aged care residence in Ashwood, Melbourne. 

VMCH CEO Sonya Smart said she and her team were honoured to welcome Cabrini Ashwood residents, staff and families into the VMCH community. 

“We have a long-term relationship with Cabrini, partnering and collaborating on many initiatives and projects over the years to help better serve the community,” Ms Smart said. 

Like VMCH, Cabrini Ashwood is a Catholic for-purpose organisation, guided by a similar mission and values to deliver high quality and compassionate care for people in need. We look forward to providing a seamless transition for residents, staff and families from Cabrini to the VMCH family.”  

Cabrini Australia Chief Executive Sue Williams said the organisation was responding to the changing care needs of its community.  

Cabrini Ashwood has been a significant and highly-valued part of our service for 20 years and we are very proud of the high-quality, compassionate care our team has provided to residents and their families during this time. 

“We remain committed to meeting the needs of our community and will continue to do this through our acute hospital services and our growing out-of-hospital care services. 

“We are confident in our decision to transfer Cabrini Ashwood to VMCH, which has a strong alignment to our own mission, vision and culture.” 

VMCH is a large and trusted provider of aged care services, with more than 100 years of experience and a strong reputation. The purchase builds on the organisation’s existing portfolio of 13 aged care residences across Victoria, and will extend its reach into a new locale in Melbourne’s south east.  

The transfer of operations is set to occur mid-September 2022, subject to confirmation of the date with several Government departments.
