Home Services Manager at Hillview Bunyip Aged Care

“It is empowering that the not for profit sector can strengthen itself and make an even greater impact in our community”

Hillview Bunyip Aged Care is a 58 bed, community owned residential and independent living provider who has been meeting the needs of the people of the Bunyip and surrounds since 1994. 

Joining CCI in October 2023, Hillview were initially referred by a current CCI member as to the benefits of joining. The initial appear was the access to significant cost savings on offer across a wide range of categories and items. By tapping into the collective buying power, Hillview have been able to secure savings that have enabled them to stretch their budget further. Further benefit has been a streamlined procurement process with a network of vetted suppliers, reducing the administrative burden. 

Ed says: “This support has allowed Hillview to dedicate more resources to our core mission, ultimately improving service delivery and making a greater impact for our residents.”
