Over 60 Years of Care

Growth. Connection. Community.

Let's talk

Guided by Care

Moving forward with purpose.

Our mission is to improve how people age, by supporting healthy, productive, meaningful lives.

Harbison was founded in 1956 by the Southern Highlands community, for the Southern Highlands community. It began with a simple but meaningful idea: to create a place where older people could belong, receive the support they needed and continue to live with dignity, purpose and independence.
Today, that purpose remains unchanged, but our vision has grown. Through Harbison 2034, we're intentionally reshaping the future of care. As we look towards our 75th anniversary and beyond, we're creating a legacy that brings generations together, supports people to live life on their own terms, and transforms how we age, live and thrive as a community.
Who we are

our story

We have a long history of recognising and responding to the needs of older Australians. Today, that means helping senior communities embrace where they are to continue to make the most of life.
We know that independence isn't the absence of care; it's the outcome of receiving the right support, at the right time, in the way that's right for you. That's why Harbison is building a community where people of all ages can live well, connected by care, belonging and opportunity.
