Live large

Live your best life with independence and confidence, knowing affordable and clinically excellent care is available whenever you need it.

Live with Independence and Confidence

Established in 1898, Brodribb Home has supported older people in the Toowoomba community for more than a century. As a registered charity, all funds are reinvested to continually improve the services, care and facilities available to our residents.

Our Retirement Village, opened in 1998, offers 34 thoughtfully designed units ranging from one to three bedrooms. At the heart of the village is McLennan House, a beautifully restored heritage cottage that now serves as a welcoming community centre for residents.

Retirement Village residents enjoy the freedom to live independently, with reassurance that support is available if needed. Access to government-funded Support at Home Packages may be available where eligible, and a range of additional services can also be arranged on a user-pays basis.

Should care needs change over time, residents are supported to transition smoothly into residential aged care if required. Located alongside the village, Brodribb Home’s residential facility offers priority access, providing peace of mind and continuity of care.

At Brodribb, our commitment is simple. Whatever the future brings, our team is here to support you to live well, with care, respect and confidence.

In addition to Support at Home Packages, personalised personal care services are also available on a short- or long-term basis and may be arranged independently or alongside a package, depending on your needs.

An emergency phone system (Tunstall) is provided to all residents of Brodribb Retirement Village for assistance in emergencies.

Our Application Process

If you are considering a Licence to Occupy now or in the future, we invite you to complete our Waiting List Form.

Once completed, the form can be emailed to enquiries@brodhome.org.au or delivered in person to our reception at 13 Goggs Street, Toowoomba.

Some unit types, particularly larger units with garages, may have longer waiting periods. When a suitable unit becomes available, our team will contact you to discuss the opportunity. At that time, you are welcome to decide whether you feel ready to consider a move, view the unit, or remain on the waiting list for future availability.
