A leading care provider has joined the team at the Sunshine Coast’s new $25 million health and wellbeing building.
121 Care, which provides support to people with disabilities, will move into Vitality Village, near the Sunshine Coast University Hospital at Birtinya.
The village opened recently and it has already brought together some of the region’s brightest minds and businesses, in a collaborative project championed by community services organisation Be and the Double R Group.
121 Care co-chief executives, Kym Chomley and Feda Adra, said the move was an exciting one, as the organisation sought to collaborate more, for the benefit of staff and clients.
“What attracts us is the opportunity to work with other organisations, to support each other and create synergies that is innovative and will make a real difference to our community,” they said in a media release.
“We’re really interested in exploring the chance to link up with the other villagers, so our clients can have access to a wider range of services.”

“We outgrew our previous premises in Maroochydore and we look forward to now being at the Vitality Village, where we are closer to collaborators and other service providers that complement our services.”
“We are also excited by the prospect of sharing this new space with our clients as well, as we have a number of initiatives involving them that we’re looking to launch later in the year.”
More than 70% of the Vitality Village building is currently leased or under offer.
