Residents from recently touched down at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Australia for a day of naval history and high-flying stories.
From the vintage Sopwith Camel to Vietnam-era Medivac choppers, our crew explored the evolution of Australian naval aviation. We were especially impressed by the museum’s sense of space and the complimentary books we received to add to our village library.
A huge shoutout to our volunteer driver, Dave, for a smooth trip & thank you to Bill and the Residents’ Committee for organizing such a "first-class" outing! ✈️🙌

In honor of , we’re highlighting the vital role of clinical pharmacy in aged care.
Goodwin has a proud history as the first aged care provider in Australia to employ an on-site, full-time pharmacist, a model that has since become a benchmark for the industry.

Our pharmacist, Kirolos, led a tour of our facilities, discussing the complexities of medication management and the benefits of having a dedicated on-site pharmacist integrated into our care teams.
Thank you, Kirolos, for your expertise and the incredible support you provide to our residents and staff.

Goodwin is Canberra’s largest and longest serving local specialist in retirement living and seniors' care. Established in 1954, the not-for-profit organisation governed by a skills-based board and owned by its members, for its members, provides leading-edge residential aged care and retirement living options at villages in Ainslie, Monash, Farrer and Crace. Goodwin also provides home care services and seniors' Day Clubs across the ACT and regional southern NSW.
Superior service, facilities and clinical care capabilities set Goodwin apart. We believe that every person should have quality of life and the opportunity to stay productive in their community.
Goodwin has its roots in a women's community group, the National Council of Women who in 1954 began a campaign to ensure Canberra's seniors gained dedicated housing and support. Twelve community leaders formed a committee to pursue this ambitious idea, fundraising and lobbying for some years until opening Canberra's first residential aged care facility and seniors' housing, in Ainslie. They adopted the name Goodwin in honour of Lt Col John Goodwin, a renowned public servant and a tireless advocate of seniors’ rights.
Goodwin has come a long way since. Today Goodwin serves around 2500 seniors and continues to set benchmarks in quality aged care, partnering with research organisations on new care methodologies, and winning numerous awards for its retirement living villages and modern, sustainably designed apartments.
Among other achievements, Goodwin provides 24/7 on-site nurses in residential care and registered nurse oversight of home care; was the first in the nation to develop wellness centres to support independence and prevention; and is the first in Australia to employ an on-site pharmacist in residential care.
