Project Overview

The Infinite Care Knoxfield Residential Aged Care Facility is a landmark project in Victoria, setting a new standard for community-focused senior living. Developed through a collaboration between Infinite Aged Care and Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust, the six-storey facility provides:

  • 177 residential care beds

  • State-of-the-art kitchen, dining, and recreation facilities

  • An onsite cafe and dedicated club floor

This project demonstrates the growing importance of quality aged care facilities in Victoria, meeting the increasing demand for comfortable, accessible, and supportive environments for Australia’s elder community.

Chris Smith, General Manager Healthcare Property, said the Infinite Care home enables investors to contribute to Australia’s long-term aged care infrastructure while benefiting from long-term income.

“With the number of Victorians over 60 set to nearly double to 2.3 million by 2046, we are proud to give investors the unique opportunity to participate in the growth of Australia’s aged care service sector while benefitting from income generated by the 25-year lease with Infinite Care.”
