History
MYVISTA is a not-for-profit organisation and a registered charity that actively supports the communities it serves. MYVISTA specialises in providing culturally appropriate care for the aged, and accommodates people from all cultural backgrounds.
MYVISTA was created for the community, by community groups. This unique Australian project resulted from the efforts of six ethnic clubs.
The forward thinking and visionary planning to support the ethnic elderly within the community is a tribute to the collaboration and partnering of these clubs. It is how, and why, MYVISTA was created. It is our heritage and our multicultural spirit continues to shine through in our staff mix which is something we are very proud of. The organisation acknowledges the many individuals, companies, State and Local Governments that made the concept of the aged care facility a reality.
Stirling Ethnic Aged Homes Association (Inc) now trades as MYVISTA.
