For over 40 years, Harbourside has been a trusted, community-driven provider of aged care in Port Stephens. Born from the vision of local volunteers in the late 1970s, our organisation began with a simple goal: to create safe, affordable accommodation for seniors. What started as a community initiative led by Nelson Bay RSL grew into Harbourside Port Stephens — featuring residential care, home care and retirement across Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay and Salamander Bay.
Our roots in community care continue to shape our compassionate culture and commitment to supporting local seniors with dignity and respect.
