Newcastle and Lake Macquarie together make up one of Australia's largest regional population centres, with a substantial retiree base concentrated around Lake Macquarie's flat foreshore suburbs - Belmont, Swansea, Warners Bay, Toronto and Morisset. The lakeside shared paths and the Fernleigh Track between Adamstown and Belmont are genuinely well-suited to daily scooter and power-chair use.
John Hunter Hospital at New Lambton Heights is the region's tertiary referral hospital, supported by Belmont Hospital on the eastern side of the lake and a strong network of private hospitals and aged-care providers across Charlestown, Warners Bay and Cardiff. Most of our customers here touch one of those campuses at some point.
Because our closest base is in Mount Waverley, Melbourne, we serve Newcastle and Lake Macquarie as a delivered, in-home service.
