The Not For Profit has agreed to take over Sunrise Supported Living’s Tuncurry retirement village and home care service on the NSW Mid North Coast, adding what the operator calls “a new and proven aged care alternative” to its portfolio.
Sunrise Supported Living has 106 independent living units, and Sunrise Home Care, which delivers home care services to 66 village residents and an additional 190 clients across the wider Mid North Coast region.
The acquisition will see approximately 90 Sunrise employees offered employment with BaptistCare.
The transition, expected to be completed in October 2025, follows a considered and values-aligned process between the two organisations.
Paul Greenup, Director of Sunrise, said the decision was made with great care and with residents, clients and staff at the heart of the process.
“We undertook a thorough assessment to ensure any future operator of Sunrise shared our values and commitment to care. BaptistCare’s long-standing reputation and strong local presence gave us great confidence," he said.
BaptistCare CEO Charles Moore said the acquisition increases the Not For Profit's presence in the region through their Mid North Coast BaptistCare at home team, social club Blue Gum Cottage in Taree, and BaptistCare Kularoo, a residential aged care home in Forster.
BaptistCare formally merged with Baptcare (VIC, TAS, SA) and Baptist Care SA in March this, forming a national organisation.
