Hippocrates Australian Greek Aged Persons Association

Hippocrates Australian Greek Aged Persons Association Celebrating 30 years As a result, the numbers of elderly within the Greek community of Newcastle rose. It is a charitable organisation with over 400 members.

The Greek community of Newcastle arrived during the post war migration wave and reached a population size of approximately 7,500 by the mid 1960’s. The Hippocrates Association was established in 1992 for the purpose of pursuing the development of aged care for their community. In 2006, the Association received 50 low care bed licences and it became necessary to consider building options. Given the

complexities in aged residential care development it became evident that a partnership with an experienced aged care provider would be needed to ensure the fruition of their vision. The Hippocrates Association approached Fronditha Care for two fundamental reasons. First of all Fronditha is a non-profitable organisation with the same mission. Secondly, Fronditha is well established and highly regarded by the Greek community of Melbourne and aged care industry at large. The synergies between the two organisations were evident and the partnership was announced in March 2007. The two organisations are working towards a short and long term plan. Initially a 66 bed facility offered residential low care and future ageing in place as well as high care will be built. The second stage will include the development of additional 24 beds and a community centre. Stage three consists of the development of assisted living units. The Fronditha and the Hippocrates Australian Greek Aged Persons Association of Newcastle established a partnership to develop and provide aged care n Mayfield, Newcastle. The service targets the culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities of Newcastle and surrounding municipalities, with priority given to Greek elders.
