Leading Aged Care in Vaucluse
Australia's most awarded residential aged care community is in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs
A Standard of Living, Not Just a Standard of Care
Mark Moran Vaucluse holds consecutive 4 and 5-star ratings under the Australian Government’s Aged Care Star Ratings system, the government assessment for compliance, quality, resident experience and staffing. Very few aged care facilities in Australia have achieved this level since the system’s introduction in December 2022. For families researching 5-star aged care this is a clear indicator of a service consistently delivering on its promises, staffing levels, quality and aspirations.
The rating reflects something deeper than compliance. It reflects a decision made over 70 years ago: Aged care should be about living fully, not just being looked after. Mark Moran Vaucluse delivers an Australian-first model focused on the de-institutionalisation of aged care: a home built on relationships, more akin to a family and hospitality environment with five star service than a clinical one, all the while located in one of Sydney’s most beautiful, connected and award winning village precincts overlooking Sydney Harbour and the Pacific Ocean.
I just want to thank you and everybody who looked after Dad. They have been amazing to him and I am very grateful for the time my father had at Mark Moran Vaucluse. When the time comes I will definitely consider the place for him. In the meantime please convey my gratitude for all the care that my Dad received while I was away.

Just a note to thank the Mark Moran Vaucluse team for the wonderful care they provided to Mum. I cannot thank the staff enough for their genuine care, professionalism and kindness to Mum, it was truly lovely. I have no doubt that Mum’s six weeks were as comfortable as I could have hoped for her, and for that, I am very grateful to Mark Moran Vaucluse.
