Uniting AgeWell is an organisation of the Uniting Church in Australia, and has a long history of providing residential and community services for older Australians. Formerly Uniting Aged Care, we officially became Uniting AgeWell on 1 October 2013. When changing our name we chose ‘Uniting’ because we are proud to be part of the Uniting Church in Australia, and ‘AgeWell’ because it represents a positive view of ageing in the 21st century. Uniting AgeWell values are grounded in the beliefs of the Uniting Church in Australia, an inclusive church which is open to wisdom from people of other faiths and none. We advocate for and on behalf of, older people. As part of the Australia wide UnitingCare network, we lobby government to influence policy to improve the lives of older people.
