Ozcare Palm Lodge

Minutes from the city centre, Ozcare Palm Lodge is situated in the inner Brisbane suburb of New Farm, just a short walk from the Brisbane River and New Farm Park, with an excellent view of the Story Bridge.

Our central location allows you to be close to family living and working in Brisbane, and also provides access to a comprehensive range of services and health professionals.

Ozcare Palm Lodge has multiple well appointed, stylish common areas that 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.
