Australia’s aged care system has changed with the introduction of the Aged Care Act 2024, placing older people’s rights, safety, and wellbeing at the centre of care.
Yaandina is now a registered aged care provider under the new Act, approved to deliver a wide range of services including residential care, home support, nursing, and community-based programs.
We’re proud to continue supporting older people to live well, stay connected, and receive the care they need—right here in the Pilbara.
Yaandina Aged Care provides safe, comfortable, and culturally connected residential care for older people in Roebourne. Our facility offers 30 beds, including high-dependency support, allowing residents to age in place close to family and community.
Under the Aged Care Act 2024, all residential aged care services must be accredited by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission—the national regulator responsible for ensuring care is safe, high-quality, and aligned with the rights of older people.
Yaandina was reaccredited in May 2024 for a further three-year period, having met all 42 Quality Standards requirements during our site audit. This reflects our strong governance, commitment to continuous improvement, and positive feedback from residents and families.
Residential aged care includes:
We’re proud to offer care that supports dignity, choice, and connection—right here in the Pilbara.
To secure a place for your loved one a referral is required. The following steps outline the referral process.
A health professional, HACC coordinator, Aged Care coordinator or Family members would contact Yaandina about the concerns they have for their relative or client.
An ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) assessment would be done. In consultation with family and health professionals a service or care plan would be designed.
The plan would indicate the correct care provision needed, i.e. in-home services or residential aged care.
The ACAT assessor would advise the appropriate agency and the referral would be made.
Residents can choose to pay for their accommodation by a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD), a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP), or a combination of both. A refundable deposit is paid as a lump sum. A daily payment accrues daily and is paid periodically, usually monthly.
All our rooms are single with private en suite with a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) up to a maximum value of $259,500 or a maximum Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) of $50.19.

The Commonwealth Home Support (CHSP) program (previously HACC) provides support services to older people, people with a disability and their carers, to assist them to continue living independently at home.
The services provided range from Centre based care through to Personal care and meals on wheels.
Our Home Care packages provide support for those with a greater care need that require more support than the CHSP service can offer. These services are on a consumer directed care basis which can be tailored to the recipient’s needs. The services can range from social support to Domestic assistance & transport.
The CHSP & Homecare program directs its services to those who have the greatest need for them and /or the greatest capacity to benefit from the services on offer.
It is a requirement of the Australian Government for providers of CHSP & Home Care to take part in quality reporting at least once every 3 years. Quality Reporting is the Australian Government’s process for encouraging community aged care providers to review, refine and continuously improve the quality of their service delivery. This is conducted by the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency. The Home Care service & HACC service passed all required standards and expected outcomes.
For detailed information see reports below.
As with aged care a referral is required to meet all regulatory requirements in order to access the service. The following steps outline the referral process.
A health professional, HACC coordinator, Aged Care coordinator or Family members would contact Yaandina about the concerns they have for their relative or client.
An ACNA (Aged Care Network Australia) assessment will be done. In consultation with family and health professionals and a service or care plan would be designed.
The plan would indicate the correct care provision needed, i.e. in-home services or residential aged care. If Homecare is seen to be needed over HACC services an ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) would be engaged
The ACNA or ACAT assessor would advise the appropriate agency and the referral would be made.
