Fronditha Care hosted its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, 26 November 2024, with over
50 people in attendance.
In his opening remarks, Kostas Livadaras, Fronditha Care President and Board Chair spoke to
a year of notable achievements telling members:
“This year, we have firmly established that
we are a community of people with incredible impact who make a genuine difference to the
lives of so many. We have achieved significant growth in our operations and largest turnover
in our history, with a larger workforce than ever before supporting more elders than we have
done in our 47-year history. Fronditha Care is thriving.”
He noted that Fronditha Care’s success is rooted in more equitable and innovative ways of
designing and delivering services, sustained by a robust workforce culture—a culture built
on integrity, striving for excellence, smart thinking and innovation and recognition of
commitment and achievement.
Mr Livadaras also stated: “This year, Fronditha Care achieved robust financial performance,
underscoring our commitment to sustainability and growth across the organisation. Our
revenue increased to $106.9 million the highest in our history whilst EBITDA increased by
17% from FY22-23 to $9.7m.
Our productivity increased across Residential and Community Services alike with enviable
occupancy rates of 98% and over 1050 home care packages alone, again a first in our history.
Our workforce also grew by 18% to over 1000 staff across Fronditha Care.”
Mr Livadaras also spoke warmly about the establishment of the Fronditha Care Foundation,
which marked a new era for the organisation.
“The Foundation was born out of a deep desire to build a better future for our elders and
community. We are developing frameworks, programs and resources that will set new
standards for delivering culturally specific aged care across Australia. We are very proud of
what we have already achieved and excited about the next steps of the Fronditha Care
Foundation.”
He ended his report saying: “We are preparing for the upcoming changes to the Aged Care
Standards and the new Aged Care Act, noting that these sector reforms align with our
ambition to turn our challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities, ensuring we continue to lead
with integrity, compassion and a profound respect for the rich heritage of our organisation
and the people we serve.”
Mr Alex Dimou, Treasurer, provided a comprehensive financial report for members. He
outlined the key factors underpinning Fronditha Care’s robust financial posture and
addressed questions about the organisation’s performance.
