About a secure dementia unit

This page lists aged care homes whose own website describes a secure dementia unit. Our guides explain the wider topic:

Before you shortlist a home

A home's listing tells you what the government publishes and what the home says about itself. It cannot tell you whether there is a room free or how it feels to live there. These guides cover the steps around choosing a home.

Common questions

How many aged care homes in Australia describe a secure dementia unit on their website?
291 of the 2,690 aged care homes in Australia describe a secure dementia unit on their own web page, as checked in October 2026. A further 60 are run by providers that mention it on a provider-wide page, which does not confirm it for that home.
If a home does not mention a secure dementia unit, does that mean it does not offer it?
No. Many homes offer care they do not describe online, and some websites are out of date. Treat this list as a starting point and ask each home directly what it offers and whether it has a place.
How are the homes on this page ordered?
Alphabetically by suburb, then by name. To see homes by distance, search for a suburb or postcode or use homes near me. Payment never changes the order of results or which homes appear.
