IRT Group

IRT Group is one of Australia's largest community-owned, not-for-profit providers of retirement living, residential aged care, and home care services. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Wollongong, NSW, IRT has over 50 years of experience supporting older Australians, serving approximately 8,000 to 9,000 residents and customers each year across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, and South East Queensland. The organization employs between 2,500 and 2,800 staff and focuses on community impact by reinvesting a portion of its surplus into social initiatives. IRT offers a range of services, including retirement villages that promote independent living, person-centered care in residential aged care centers, and in-home support services for seniors. The organization also runs IRT Catering, which produces over 1.2 million meals annually, and the Age Matters initiative, which addresses issues like homelessness and isolation among older adults. Additionally, the ITeC Academy provides training in aged care and other fields, further contributing to the community's well-being. IRT is committed to social impact, allocating one-third of its surplus to support vulnerable older Australians through various programs.
