Silverchain

Silverchain is the future of care, and we’ve been leading these discoveries for more than a century.

We believe everyone deserves the right to be treated at home for as long as they choose. From wellbeing as you age to acute care at any age, we’re there. We provide complete health and aged care services in your home and in the community so you can have the choice in where you receive your care. Our 130-year history as pioneers in homecare means we are always seeking innovative new ways to offer t

he best care: world-class, backed by our research and with your needs and preferences at the heart of everything we do. We are distinguished by quality and safety; the best care offered to every client, every time. We lead future advancements in home care through our own and co-designed research, and development of innovations in technology. We advocate for a client’s right to choose where they receive their health care and champion their dignity, choice and independence. We care for the things our clients care about and we celebrate diversity in all its forms.

Ahead of ANZAC Day, we honour a legacy of leadership and community care.

Dr Henry Arthur Powell served on the frontlines of World War I before continuing his service as President of the District Trained Nursing Society - now part of Silverchain.

Through times of hardship, he remained a strong advocate for nurses and a committed leader in community-based care.

His legacy continues to shape how we deliver care today.

Lest we forget.

We welcome the Federal Government's decision to include personal care in the no co-contribution category of Support at Home. Along with a range of consumer representatives bodies, providers, and consumers themselves, Silverchain has been advocating for this amendment since 2024.

No one should bear the financial strain of maintaining their dignity at home. Restoring crucial supports like showering and dressing is a welcome win for older people. This is a common sense decision, and we thank the Government for correcting course on this important access and equity issue.

We urge the Federal Government to consider bringing forward the implementation of this change before 1 October 2026. We will keep our clients and the community updated as more information becomes available.

Congratulations to our Quality and Safety team whose abstract was featured last month at the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare in Oslo, Norway.

The poster presentation titled, Consumer Risk Profile: An integrated view, was authored by Amy Mayer, Lisa Dunlop, Amanda Bandeira-Ranger and Matthew Fantoni. It focused on Silverchain’s integrated Consumer Risk Profile Dashboard, which provides a graphical depiction of a client’s risk profile against six domains.

The International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare is one of the largest of its kind in the world, with more than 2,500 delegates from 60 countries meeting to share problems and solutions and find or maintain networks that help them gather ideas, benchmark and progress with their improvement projects.

Congratulations Amy and team!

Over the past month our team has been working alongside older people across Ingenia communities around Australia, holding listening sessions to better understand what support people would like to access in their homes as they age.

Ingenia community residents shared valuable insights about the types of services that would make a real difference to their independence, as well as ideas about innovative ways these supports could be funded within their communities.

Thank you to Ronelle Hutchinson, Dorothy Fuller, Mine Lowther, Traceylee Dent and Elizabeth Laws for facilitating the sessions in collaboration with the Ingenia Connect team.

Doug lives with multiple chronic health conditions and knows how challenging it can be to talk about how you’re really feeling.
