Willoughby Retirement Community Association

Willoughby Retirement Community Association The official business name of the village is Willoughby Retirement Community Association (ABN 60 001 838 777).

This is a non-profit community association set up in the early 1970’s on land donated by Willoughby City Council to provide accommodation and care for retired and aged people, with a priority for those from Willoughby and neighbouring areas. WRCA is managed by a board of volunteer directors employing 30 professional staff. The Village facilities include a separate lounge / library / computer room, a Community Function / Craft Room, outdoor barbecue, a communal laundry on each floor of the Self Care tower, and a dining room for Hostel & Outreach Residents. Adjacent to our self-contained apartments is Willoughby Hostel which provides studio accommodation, dining and daily assistance “in-house”. WRCA’s campus has 85 apartments of which 40 are government funded and operated as residential care places under the Aged Care Act (including respite care up to nine weeks per year) and “Outreach” assistance. The units are different styles and sizes ranging from studio to three-bedrooms, suitable for independent living and “ageing in place” with the assisted care from our on-site nursing staff. Outreach
“Outreach” is a service provided by our hostel to residents living in self-contained units who require help with everyday activities. WRCA is pleased to offer flexibility in accommodation and levels of assistance for individual residents, including couples in two-bedroom units with different health care needs. Annual Report of Directors & Financial Statements are available from the Village on request.

Science Week 🔬 | Penicillin

Penicillin was the wonder drug that changed the world. It was the first antibiotic and provided an effective treatment against many diseases that are today considered relatively minor but were often deadly prior to its use.

Discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming, the drug was made medically useful in the 1940s by a team of Oxford scientists led by Australian Howard Florey and German refugee Ernst Chain.

Today, on what would have been our Mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.

Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.

Thank you to Ian Rank-Broadley, Pip Morrison and their teams for their outstanding work, to the friends and donors who helped make this happen, and to all those around the world who keep our mother’s memory alive.

— Prince William and Prince Harry

On this day in 1880, Victorian police captured bushranger Ned Kelly after a siege at the Glenrowan Inn. The other members of the Kelly Gang – Dan Kelly, Joseph Byrne and Steve Hart – were killed in the siege.

The gang had been outlawed for the murders of three police officers at Stringybark Creek in 1878.

Ned Kelly was tried and executed in Melbourne in November 1880.

The Kelly Gang’s last stand has become an Australian folk legend, however views are divided about how it should be remembered.
