Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Auckland, Oceania Healthcare is New Zealand's third-largest residential aged care provider and sixth-largest retirement village operator. The company serves the New Zealand market exclusively, focusing on elderly care and retirement living solutions, with a strategic emphasis on integrating care and independent living offerings within its communities.
In the past 1-2 years, Oceania Healthcare has undergone significant developments including the acquisition of premium retirement villages such as Waterford at Hobsonville Point, comprising 64 independent living villas and 36 apartments, and adjacent development land in Auckland. These acquisitions add approximately 275 units to its development pipeline and support future growth. It has raised NZ$100 million through equity raising to fund these acquisitions and reduce corporate debt. The company also announced plans to sell several rest homes, generating proceeds to support strategic portfolio transformation. Oceania continues to enhance operational efficiency with investments in clinical systems and digital workflow tools, contributing to notable growth in care segment EBITDA.
Oceania Healthcare operates through segments including care operations, village operations, and development projects. Its care segment—which generates the majority of revenue—provides accommodation, care packages, meals, and associated services to aged care residents. The company maintains a strong development pipeline with over 1,800 residences planned, with 75% of these already consented.
