Our Story

Image

BallyCara is a charitable organisation with a passion & focus on inspiring Healthy & Happy Living across generations and communities. BallyCara is a provider of Home Care, Wellness, Short-Term Restorative Care, Retirement Living and Residential Care. We’re forging new frontiers to enable people to live fulfilling lives regardless of age through the provision of individualised care, services, and contemporary community and accommodation infrastructure.

Inspiring Healthy & Happy Living is our Why. All that we do with older people, our staff and those we connect with, is underpinned by the focus & attention we give everyone to enable them to live a healthy & happy life in a way that is meaningful to them.   

Our How is Impact through Relationships. We value & recognise the impact we have through our interactions & connections. Together we build relationships with people using our services, their families, our staff and the wider community. 

People are at the heart of all we do, through meaningful and inclusive relationships. 

Using our knowledge & relational approach we positively influence, lead and inspire. We wish to transform the conversation and approach to later life and growing old in Australia and beyond.  

Through Partnerships, together we enable better lives through purposeful connections and collaborations. Each day we continue to grow this offering by delivering significant community health and social benefits to older people. From our spiritual home at Scarborough, nestled on Queensland’s beautiful Moreton Bay, BallyCara has expanded across Australia.

Our Residential Care and Retirement Village are located at Scarborough, Home Care and Wellness Programs are offered in a variety of locations across Moreton Bay, Brisbane North, Logan, Gold Coast and Melbourne North.

Sona® Values

What is Sona®?

Sona® is Gaelic for Happiness, reflecting BallyCara’s heritage and commitment to inspiring healthy and happy living.

Sona® is our way of being at BallyCara, and it enables us to prosper.

BallyCara takes full advantage of Sona®’s inherent strengths and capabilities as it underpins all that we do.

The Sona® Frameworkswish-graphic-orange-300

As Sona® is our way of being it enables all to prosper when it is consistently & authentically lived out by our people. Our values and behaviours are connected to this way of being.

The Sona® Framework is integral to our Strategy; Frameworks; Policies and Procedures. Opportunity and potential are pursued and realised as Sona® influences our systems, processes, practices & we embrace a culture that inspires healthy and happy living for all.

Our Sona® Values

swish-graphic-orange-300Our Sona® Values guide our decision making. They show up in what we think and do. They strengthen our relational approach through our people being in the right place; at the right time; doing the right thing in the right way.

Our Sona® Values apply to all our people and the relationships we have (existing and new); giving us, our relationships, and the interactions we have the opportunity to be the best they can be.
They will be evidenced through how we behave and what people experience and feel.

Our Sona® Behaviours

swish-graphic-orange-300We demonstrate our Sona® Behaviours through:

  • How we are living our values
  • What our customers can expect to experience when they use our services
  • How we behave with one another as colleagues
  • How we fulfil our why/purpose of ‘Inspiring Healthy and Happy Living’

For every value, behaviours have been identified that show how we are living our values. We use the behaviours to:

  • Ensure we recruit and retain the right people who share; live and put into practice our values.
  • Support how we enable our people to be the best version of themselves. This is enabled through our regular feedback sessions which are a two-way process.
  • To help identify learning and developmental opportunities for our people.
