The opportunity to save money through resource efficiency, community expectations around good environmental management and staff motivation have been the main reasons that the aged care partners have given for joining the program.

First to sign were Warrigal Care, with head office based in Albion Park. They were followed shortly by Bluehaven in Kiama and since the end of May most major players have signed, including Catholic Healthcare, Uniting Care, Illawarra Retirement Trust (IRT) and Banksia Village (Broulee).

The BTL team is currently working through the training modules and diagnostics sessions with these partners, with the program scheduled to take 12-18 months to complete.
