Australia is undergoing a profound demographic shift, with the population aged 75 and over set to nearly triple by 2050. This transformation is driving sustained demand for residential aged care services and infrastructure.
Following a period of financial strain, the aged care sector is showing strong signs of recovery, supported by government reforms, improved
funding models, and greater transparency. However, a significant infrastructure gap remains. An estimated $56 billion in capital investment is required by 2050 to renew and expand aged care capacity.
The Australian Unity Aged Care Property Trust is responding to this challenge by building and owning high-quality, fit-for-purpose aged care facilities. These assets are leased to experienced operators, delivering both long-term community value and attractive investment opportunities in a growing sector.
The aged care sector is recovering and becoming more attractive to investors, but significant infrastructure investment is still required to
support Australia’s aging population. Australian Unity’s approach—combining community impact with investor returns—positions it as a key player
in delivering the aged care infrastructure needed now and into the future.
