Leadership & Legacy

Anchor 1

Orana Gardens Ltd is committed to offering a range of high-quality aged care accommodation options for Dubbo and its neighbouring communities.

​

Our offering
 

Orana Gardens Ltd offers the local community a diverse range of aged care accommodation options through our Aged Care Complex, including:

  • 148 Orana Gardens Estate units in Dubbo, NSW for independent living

  • 125 beds as part of Orana Gardens in Dubbo, NSW, including 35 dementia-specific rooms.
     

In 1989, the organisation was formed under the name Dubbo RSL Aged Care Association. It was founded as a charitable, not-for-profit organisation, with members of the Dubbo RSL Sub-Branch and the Dubbo RSL Memorial Club jointly funding initial constructions.
 

The organisation has now evolved into Orana Gardens Ltd., with a Chief Executive Officer and a Board of 8 committed local citizens.
 

Our staff are the backbone of the organisation. Without them, we could not offer the high-quality and varied aged care options we do. Our staff are committed to upholding our mission and values at all times.

We are dedicated to creating a warm and nurturing environment for our residents, where they can fully embrace the joy of life and feel supported in every step of their journey.

Our Mission

Our mission in residential aged care is to enhance the quality of life for our residents by providing resident-centred, compassionate care in a safe and nurturing environment. We are committed to continuous improvement,
innovation, and the highest standards of service, ensuring that each resident’s physical, emotional, and social needs are met with dignity and respect. In our independent living, we support our community to live their best lives through inclusion and community spirit.
