Peter Volk Apartments
Our newly redeveloped Peter Volk Apartments are premium aged care apartments with specialised aged care apartment-style living. This new approach to aged care means residents can make more personal choices and form closer relationships in familiar surrounds, just like home.
Life at St George's
What's the lifestyle like at St George's?
St George’s offers a wide-range of leisure and lifestyle activities as well as pastoral care support. There is a close connection with local community organisations, churches and social groups, giving clients access to essential networks outside the home so they can maintain their community associations and friendships.
Staff and volunteers
We encourage our staff and volunteers to bring a pastoral sensibility to their roles, to listen to and be truly present to our residents. Our specialist team of non-denominational Pastoral Care Practitioners provide individualised and ongoing spiritual and emotional support.
In addition, through our Lifestyle Program, denominational visitors and volunteer companions foster an ongoing connection with our residents’ chosen faith tradition and provide church and chaplaincy services.

Refurbishment and expansion of St George's Peter Volk Wing
We are pleased to announce the commencement of a significant expansion to and refurbishment of Benetas St George’s. We are committed to investing in the local community and ensuring we meet the increasing demand for aged care in the area, now and well into the future, and this project is reflective of that.
The works will see the refurbishment of the currently vacant wing, linked to the Peter Volk Wing with an additional 30 aged care places. The new development will reflect Benetas’ new approach to aged care, with apartment-style configuration working to create an environment that is as home-like as possible.
In line with our new approach, we also plan to refurbish the Peter Volk Wing based on the apartment-style model.
- Refurbishment of the vacant wing is due for completion in June 2018
- Refurbishment of the Peter Volk Wing is due for completion in October 2018
- Admission of new residents can take place from November 2018
