Ozcare - Malanda

Ozcare Malanda combines the best of rural living with the care and comfort that comes from living at an aged care facility. Located in township of Malanda on the Atherton Tablelands of North Queensland between Cairns and Innisfail, the Ozcare Malanda facility is a fine example of the successful integration of aged care with a local close-knit rural community.

Enjoy the warm tropical climate and wildlife of North Queensland and walk through the landscaped gardens or neighbouring rainforest, relax on your own shaded verandah or go indoors and enjoy spacious lounge and sitting areas.

Multiple well-appointed, stylish common areas are open for everyone to enjoy. Watch a movie on our large screen TVs, get lost in a good book from our library, take a break in one of the quiet rooms, use the internet on one of our computers, get your hair cut at the hairdressing salon, relax in the lounge with tea and coffee making facilities or head outside to enjoy our extensive grounds with BBQ facilities, sitting areas, gazebos, gardens and walking paths.

On special occasions, take a trip outside the centre on our small bus or join in on the festivities held every month - there’s always something to do, and a friendly smile from the people there to help you.
