Sustainability at Oxa Care
We take a thoughtful approach to reducing waste and using resources responsibly throughout our aged care home.
Small choices can make a meaningful difference
Oxa Care is home to our residents, and we want to look after the environment around them with the same care and attention. That means finding practical ways to reduce unnecessary waste and make better use of resources, while always putting residents’ comfort, safety and wellbeing first.
What we’re doing today and where we’re heading
For us, sustainability is a journey. We’re starting with practical changes that make sense for our residents, our team and our home.
Small changes we’re making today
From planning meals more carefully to ordering clinical supplies based on individual needs, we’re conscious of avoiding unnecessary waste. We also consolidate supplier deliveries where possible, helping us make everyday operations a little more considered.
Continuing to learn and improve
We don’t pretend to have all the answers. What we can do is keep asking where we can make a positive change. We’ll continue exploring realistic ways to reduce waste and use resources more thoughtfully, while ensuring resident care always comes first.
Little things that help us waste less
Being more mindful can start with simple choices. We look for ways to reduce unnecessary waste without compromising care.

Responsibility goes beyond reducing waste
Being responsible is also about how we care for people. Our decisions are guided by resident wellbeing, thoughtful use of resources and high standards of care.

Caring for people is part of our responsibility
For us, being responsible is about more than the resources we use. It is also about creating a caring, inclusive home where residents feel respected, supported and part of a community.
- We get to know each resident, including the routines and preferences that help them feel at home.
- We listen to what matters to residents and respect their identity, culture, beliefs and choices.
- We support residents in maintaining the relationships that matter to them and in choosing how they participate in community life.
- We consider each resident’s comfort, dignity and well-being in the decisions we make each day.
- We work closely with families to better understand the person behind each individual care plan.
High standards you can feel confident in
We meet the standards required of aged care providers, helping residents and families feel confident in our care.
More than just a promise
Families deserve to feel confident in the care their loved one receives. Our practices are supported by clear processes and the standards required of aged care providers.
