About Holdsworth
[TODO(content)] One or two sentences introducing About Holdsworth.
At our core, we’re here for community
Our community includes:
Older people and carers who need support at home or want to connect with their community
Families with young children
Community members looking to participate, belong and connect with local programs, groups and services
Our story
Holdsworth is a not-for-profit organisation that’s been part of the fabric of life in the Eastern Suburbs since 1940. We began with before and after-school care for local children, and we later added support for older people. Today, we offer aged care that supports people to live independently at home, early learning and play for young children, and programs for people to take part, belong and connect. Our services have changed over the years, but our values still hold strong.
Our purpose
To uphold people’s right to live and participate fully in their community and to be valued for the unique contributions they make.
Our mission
We support people in our community and encourage social connection
to create independent and fulfilling lives.
What we value
Independence
We promote informed choice, resilience and individual preference.
Trust
We are committed to being a trusted provider by operating with integrity and offering services that are safe, reliable and high quality.
Kindness
Our staff and volunteers are warm, caring and generous.
Openness
We’re here to listen and learn from the communities we serve.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion
Holdsworth is committed to diversity and inclusion in all its forms. We welcome and respect people of every race, culture, language, faith, age, gender, sexuality, ability and background, whether they receive our services or work with us. We believe our community is stronger for its diversity.
