It was held online on Monday, October 25 under the chairmanship of Wyn Janssen to protect the health and safety of all parties in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Three annual addresses were given by the chairman, the chair of the business risk and audit committee, Wayne Morris, and Warrigal ceo Mark Sewell, on the year that was, plans for the future as well as on the results of the last financial year.
The meeting reflected on the historic challenges Warrigal has faced in the past 12 months which included the global COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the implementation of the recommendations from the Aged Care Royal Commission and the acquisition by Warrigal of the two BUPA homes in Canberra.
Thriving amongst these challenges has put Warrigal in a very strong position to move forward.
Warrigal's key financial results were also presented with the unprecedented cost pressures causing a significant situation over the last few years that has now been turned around.
Warrigal's unprecedented growth is being delivered, at the same time as a financial recovery plan and the pandemic response plan.
Warrigal's Annual Report was also officially launched at the event, documenting the organisations' achievements, opportunities and challenges over the past year.
Warrigal's annual reports often win awards at the Australasian Annual Reporting Awards for their transparency and innovative presentation of information.
Mr Sewell said the organisation had come a long way since it began on Mt Warrigal,but still had the DNA of a trusted local friend who listened to older people and met their housing and care needs.
"It's a simple formula that has worked for several thousand older people every year and plans to keep doing so for many years to come," he said.
