Woorayl Lodge Strategic Plan 2025–2030 Launch

Yesterday, Board President Linda Fiddelaers officially launched the Woorayl Lodge Strategic Plan 2025–2030, joined by residents, staff, community members and management.

The new plan sets out our shared vision for the next five years — to continue delivering person-centred, rights-based aged care and to develop a new state-of-the-art residential facility in Leongatha that meets the growing needs of our community.

Developed through consultation with more than 180 people, including residents, families, staff, volunteers and local organisations, the plan truly reflects the voices of our community and the values that make Woorayl Lodge unique.

You can read our Strategic Plan here: https://woorayllodge.com.au/about-us -plan
