Our Story

Burnie Brae began in 1984 thanks to seven years of dedicated fundraising by the Rotary Club of Chermside. Named after the original homestead that once stood on our site, we started as a local centre offering social activities for older adults. Discover our history.

Over the years, we’ve grown into a leading not-for-profit organisation delivering aged care, allied health and community support across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay. From in-home care and respite services to our wellness centre, café and exercise clinic, Burnie Brae has become a hub for connection, wellbeing and independence.

Our Purpose

At Burnie Brae, we empower older adults to embrace a rich life - both at home and in the community. We understand that life is better when it's shared, and we are here to support every milestone, moment and connection that makes it meaningful.

Whether it’s providing clinical care in your own home or creating opportunities for social connection, we’re at the heart of making it all happen. Our team is here to help you stay independent, safe and socially connected - living life on your own terms.

Our People

Our success is powered by a dedicated, multi-disciplinary team that includes clinicians, community workers, customer service staff, communications professionals and more. All of our people are qualified in their fields and undergo ongoing training to ensure we continue to provide the highest quality care and support.
