Mission and Vision
Our Purpose
Baptcare is a not-for-profit organisation and an innovative leader in the provision of high quality care and support in youth, family and disability services, residential aged care and community aged care services.
Baptcare pursues excellence in every aspect of its work, integrating its holistic approach to care for each and every individual regardless of their faith, monetary, cultural or lifestyle backgrounds.
Since 1945 Baptcare has provided high quality residential and community aged care programs and services for older Victorians, and has recently expanded to Tasmania. Abercare Family Services, a division of Baptcare, offers a wide range of innovative programs to families, children and youth, giving them the opportunity to grow, develop and succeed.

Our Patron
The Honourable Dame Margaret Guilfoyle AC DBE
Dame Margaret Guilfoyle has been a dedicated patron and ambassador of Baptcare for a number of years. In 1976 she was the first Australian woman to be appointed to a Cabinet portfolio when she became Minister for Social Security in the Fraser Government.
She has generously and continuously given up her time to represent Baptcare and promote the essence of what it does. Dame Margaret has often taken the time out of her busy schedule to visit individual sites, meet the residents, host patron dinners and attend celebratory events such as the 60th Anniversary. She has passionately promoted fundraising appeals, in particular the Dementia Specific Unit Capital Appeal, helping Baptcare to obtain much needed community support.
Baptcare is both honoured and proud to have Dame Margaret as a Patron for its work.
