With the acquisition of Araluen Retirement Village, in Weston Creek, Goodwin Aged Care Services has increased its portfolio of retirement villages to six across the ACT and NSW.

Goodwin, Canberra’s longest standing and largest aged-care and retirement living provider, has acquired Araluen from Canberra Retirement Villages, which has managed the Weston Creek village for more than 20 years.

“It made strategic sense for us to bring Araluen into the Goodwin family as this aligns with our strategy of expanding the provision of services to a wider range of seniors in our community,” says Goodwin CEO Stephen Holmes.

“Araluen Retirement Village has an excellent reputation for its build quality and range of amenities.

“It has 109 single-level villas, a heated pool and spa, and a clubhouse boasting the inclusions the community has come to expect from Goodwin’s retirement villages.

“We now have villages in Ainslie, Batemans Bay, Crace, Farrer, Fisher and Monash. Our Downer Village is also taking shape and will welcome residents in early 2026. 

As a not-for-profit organisation, Goodwin’s primary focus is providing our residents a lifestyle with choice and respect. 

“In 2021, Goodwin acquired The Manor Retirement Village on the south coast of NSW. This provided us with valuable insights into the process of integrating staff and residents into our organisation,” says Mr Holmes.

“We are confident that under the new name and management, Goodwin Village Araluen, the residents will experience a smooth and transparent transition period, and we wish to welcome them into the Goodwin family.”

John Bradley, a Canberra Retirement Villages director, says: “I have no doubt that the Araluen residents are in great hands.

“Goodwin has been an integral part of the Canberra community for 70 years and their reputation speaks for itself.”

Goodwin is an independent not-for-profit and not affiliated to any other business, organisation, property developer, political or religious body. All surplus funds are reinvested into Goodwin’s care and accommodation services and facilities.
