About us

Warm and inclusive environments

At Walara, everyone is valued and everyone matters. Welcome home.

Meaning light and bright in Kaurna language, our name Walara represents our local heritage and the Light River connecting our communities in Balaklava, Gilbert Valley and Hamley Bridge.

Growing older is a privilege. Ageing brings wisdom and an understanding of what’s important in life. Ageing can also mean needing extra support to maintain your independence.

At Walara, we understand that older people and their families are looking for support with integrity, who are person-centred and trusted. And that’s what we take pride in at Walara.

Our presence in regional South Australia places us at the heart of caring for our local communities, as an aged care provider and as an employer of choice.
