Our Community

NoosaCare is located across two incredible facilities – Carramar in Tewantin and Kabara in Cooroy. We are a community-based, not-for-profit organisation that puts our residents and their families at the forefront of all we do. Our state-of-the-art facilities are located in stunning natural surroundings and landscaped gardens, creating a community where residents live with dignity and choice and experience the highest level of care they deserve.
