Silverchain is the future of care, and we’ve been leading these discoveries for more than a century.

We believe everyone deserves the right to be treated at home for as long as they choose. From wellbeing as you age to acute care at any age, we’re there. We provide complete health and aged care services in your home and in the community so you can have the choice in where you receive your care. Our 130-year history as pioneers in homecare means we are always seeking innovative new ways to offer the best care: world-class, backed by our research and with your needs and preferences at the heart of everything we do. We are distinguished by quality and safety; the best care offered to every client, every time. We lead future advancements in home care through our own and co-designed research, and development of innovations in technology. We advocate for a client’s right to choose where they receive their health care and champion their dignity, choice and independence. We care for the things our clients care about and we celebrate diversity in all its forms.

Congratulations to our Quality and Safety team whose abstract was featured last month at the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare in Oslo, Norway.

The poster presentation titled, Consumer Risk Profile: An integrated view, was authored by Amy Mayer, Lisa Dunlop, Amanda Bandeira-Ranger and Matthew Fantoni. It focused on Silverchain’s integrated Consumer Risk Profile Dashboard, which provides a graphical depiction of a client’s risk profile against six domains.

The International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare is one of the largest of its kind in the world, with more than 2,500 delegates from 60 countries meeting to share problems and solutions and find or maintain networks that help them gather ideas, benchmark and progress with their improvement projects.

Congratulations Amy and team!

Over the past month our team has been working alongside older people across Ingenia communities around Australia, holding listening sessions to better understand what support people would like to access in their homes as they age.

Ingenia community residents shared valuable insights about the types of services that would make a real difference to their independence, as well as ideas about innovative ways these supports could be funded within their communities.

Thank you to Ronelle Hutchinson, Dorothy Fuller, Mine Lowther, Traceylee Dent and Elizabeth Laws for facilitating the sessions in collaboration with the Ingenia Connect team.

Doug lives with multiple chronic health conditions and knows how challenging it can be to talk about how you’re really feeling.

At Silverchain, the EMBED program is designed to support clients through one-on-one conversations with trained clinicians - helping people build confidence, manage stress and stay connected to their community while remaining at home.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, Give to Gain, celebrates the power of sharing knowledge, care, compassion, and advocacy to build collective resilience—for ourselves, each other, and the communities we serve.

Founded by women, Silverchain owes its mission and progress to dozens of remarkable female leaders over our 130-year history. One such pioneer is Millicent Hibbard, whose life perfectly reflects the International Women’s Day theme. For nearly six decades, Millicent devoted her time, energy, and compassion to the Gawler community in South Australia through the Royal District Nursing Society (now Silverchain). In return, she gained connection, purpose, and lifelong friendships. From volunteering and fundraising during the Great Depression to delivering meals into her 80s, Millicent showed that giving enriches both the giver and the community.

Millicent’s legacy reminds us of the lasting impact of the work we do in our communities, and the powerful sense of belonging and shared humanity we can build, no matter our background.
