About Koonambil Aged Care
More than 30 years ago, Koonambil was created by the community, for the community. Today, we remain a community-owned, not-for-profit provider of residential aged care and retirement living.
Our purpose extends beyond providing care. We help older people remain connected to family, culture, community and Country, while supporting local employment and contributing to the long-term strength of communities throughout Coonamble Shire—including Gulargambone and Quambone—and the broader Orana region of north-central New South Wales.
Set between Warrumbungle National Park, the Western Plains and the Macquarie Marshes, our region is home to close-knit rural communities with strong connections to place, family and one another.
At Koonambil, those connections continue. Families and friends are welcomed as valued partners in each resident’s life, helping residents maintain the relationships, identity and sense of belonging that matter most to them.
Mission
To provide safe, high-quality aged care and retirement living, building locally connected services that strengthen communities and remain sustainable for future generations.
Vision
Older people in regional communities live well, with dignity, choice and purpose, close to the people and places they call home.
Our Values
Respect
We listen and uphold each person's dignity, identity, culture, rights and choices.
Accountability
We speak honestly, use resources wisely, own our decisions, ask what can be better, learn from evidence and act.
Community
We honour the identity of every community we serve and work together for lasting local benefit.
