National Excellence Win
Villawood is thrilled that our support for essential care workers has been acknowledged with a national award for excellence.
Nurses, teachers, paramedics, police, emergency services and personal carers are among those assisted by our Care Worker Support Program, recognised in the 2024 Urban Development Institute of Australia National Excellence Awards.
The award follows earlier recognition by UDIA at its 2023 Victoria Excellence Awards.
The Care Worker Support Program proves up to $20K savings on select premium lots across Villawood’s national communities to help ensure care workers can live close to where they work. More than 300 care workers have taken advantage of the program to date.
Care workers provide essential, often frontline, services – services the community relies upon heavily, especially in times of difficulty. Villawood wants these vital people to be able to live and work in our communities, contributing to a rich social fabric delivering long-term value to residents.
The program has helped care workers achieve financial security and piece of mind. The $20K saving has made a real difference in their ability to become a part of Villawood.
