Our History

Leigh Place originally opened in 1989 as a joint venture between Canterbury City Council and the NSW Department of Housing. The aim was to provide high-quality, affordable accommodation and aged care, nurturing strong links with the local community – for our residents, staff and volunteers.

We are governed by a Board of independent directors with many years of combined experience in health, aged care and business. Meet our executive team here.
