The Olivet complex at Rupert Street in Ringwood is a well equipped facility providing quality care by professional staff. It is situated in a convenient quiet locality, close to public transport and the Ringwood shops.

The complex contains four levels of care, suiting to the varying levels of dependency - Independent Living Units, Supported Accommodation, Hostel and Nursing Home.

Olivet is owned and operated by the Christadelphian Welfare Association (Vic) Inc. and has been providing services for the aged since 1960.

It's principal purpose is to satisfy the welfare needs of the ageing. Our services are offered to Christadelphians and to the general community. Through a combination of various levels of care, Olivet endeavors to serve the community in which it is located with a homely and Christ-like environment for the resident, regardless of sex, race or religion.

This website has been produced for you the members of the Christadelphian Welfare Association in Victoria who actually own Olivet. Every baptised Christadelphian in Victoria is a member of the welfare association and so have the right to know about, take part in and make changes to what takes place here at Olivet.

The welfare association is guided by a constitution, which is a set of rules containing Christian principles set up and approved by you the members of the Association. The Board of Management consists of 9 members- Brethren and Sisters who are elected from Victorian Ecclesias and meet monthly to govern the organization which means establishing and monitoring Olivet’s purpose and strategic direction, developing and monitoring policies, working closely with the Chief Executive Officer and ensuring the organizations survival over time.

Our organisational purpose is simple- it surrounds the principle of caring for others and we are guided by the scriptures which tell us to  “…not grow weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap the harvest if we do not give up. Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” GAL 6: 9-19. (NIV). So what is Olivet? We are a nurturing community of Brethren and Sisters – possibility the largest number of Christadelphians living and working together anywhere in the world with a mandate to care for our elderly as well as others who wish to live within a Christian environment.
