Donations

Friends of St Nicholas

There are many meaningful ways to support St Nicholas Aged Care. Whether you choose to make a gift through the Friends of St Nicholas program, leave a lasting legacy through a bequest, or contribute in another way, every act of generosity helps us provide a peaceful, high-quality home where our elders remain connected to their culture, community and families. Your support strengthens the care we deliver today and secures the future of St Nicholas for generations to come.

At St Nicholas, every day is about creating comfort, dignity, and joy for our residents. From meaningful activities to personalised care and small homely touches, these experiences make a significant difference to quality of life.

While government funding covers essential clinical and operational requirements, it does not fund many of the enhancements that make aged care genuinely warm, personal, and engaging. These are the elements that bring dignity, connection, and purpose into daily life — and this is where our community plays a vital role.

To support these important enhancements, we have established Friends of St Nicholas, a regular giving program that invites our community to contribute directly to enriching the lived experience of our residents.

By becoming a Friend through a small monthly donation, you help us support:

  • wellbeing and lifestyle programs
  • cultural and spiritual activities
  • personalised comforts and homely touches
  • environmental improvements within the home
  • and major projects such as our current priority, A Room of One’s Own, which is transforming shared rooms into private ensuite rooms.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful and immediate difference. Friends of St Nicholas complements — but is separate from — any structured fees or charges, ensuring that your generosity directly funds enhancements that would not otherwise be possible.

Joining Friends of St Nicholas is simple and deeply impactful. Your support helps us continue building a home grounded in dignity, respect, and joy.

Bequests Can Help Us

  • Enhance our facilities to create more comfortable and engaging spaces for residents.
  • Fund specialised programs that promote physical activity, mental stimulation, and social connection.
  • Invest in new technology and equipment that improves the safety and care we provide.
  • Support our dedicated staff with ongoing training to ensure the highest standards of care.

If you wish to include St Nicholas in your Will, we recommend that you consult your legal adviser to ensure your Will reflects your wishes. If you would like to discuss your intentions or require more information, please contact us in confidence. We are honoured by your consideration and grateful for your support.

Crafting a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime is a profound way to make a difference, and a bequest to St. Nicholas Aged Care offers a unique opportunity to do just that. By including a gift in your will, you can ensure your compassion and generosity continue to support the well-being of our residents for years to come.

Your contribution, no matter the size, helps us uphold our commitment to providing exceptional, compassionate care in a culturally sensitive environment. These gifts are vital for funding essential services and programs that directly improve the quality of life for our community.

By leaving a bequest, you’re not just making a donation; you’re becoming a part of our ongoing story of care, community, and compassion. It’s a powerful way to ensure your values and kindness live on, creating a legacy that truly matters.
