About New Direction Care
New Direction Care is one of Australia's most innovative aged care providers and is internationally recognised for its award-winning MICRO TOWN® model of care. Located in Bellmere, Queensland, the community has been purpose built to challenge traditional institutional aged care and create an environment that closely replicates everyday suburban living.
The Bellmere community accommodates approximately 120 residents across 17 domestic style homes situated on six residential streets within a vibrant village environment. Each home accommodates seven residents who live together based on lifestyle preferences and shared interests, fostering a genuine sense of community and belonging.
At the heart of the New Direction Care philosophy is a commitment to freedom, independence, dignity, and choice. Residents are encouraged to maintain normal daily routines, participate in household activities, socialise with neighbours, and enjoy access to a range of community facilities including a café, wellness hub, cinema, GP services, allied health providers, and recreational spaces.
Unlike traditional aged care facilities, New Direction Care promotes freedom of movement and supports residents to live as independently as possible while still receiving the care and clinical support they require. This innovative approach has received both national and international recognition and is widely regarded as a leading example of the future of aged care.
