About Us

Amity was established in 1999 by its three Directors – David Armstrong, Chief Executive; Armando Sgroi, Chief Operations Officer and David Farrugia, Chief Business Development Officer who have a longstanding relationship and remain integral to the day to day workings of the company.

During this time Amity’s growth has been significant. The company’s first facility was Amity at Toowoomba in Queensland acquired in April 1999, followed shortly afterwards by Amity at Roseville in Sydney.

A Young, Dynamic Company 

Throughout this period of strong growth Amity has been underpinned by the things we truly value: high quality care, a strong service culture and the achievements of our people. Amity is now the largest provider of extra service homes in Australia and is a leading operator of residential Aged Care facilities in Australia.

Our services include a mix of standard low and high care facilities, extra service facilities, specialist dementia care, palliative care and ageing in place programs.

Taking Care of Our Employees

Amity’s Senior Management has been working to a Strategic Plan for the two year period until June 2008 identifying Key Strategies to assist us in achieving our Vision and Goals. A key part of this Strategic Plan includes attracting, developing and retaining skilled staff by reviewing and improving our recruitment, induction, training and development programs; reviewing and implementing a new remuneration and benefits program across Amity; a workforce planning strategy review and staff wellness, engagement and employee value proposition review.


Amity continues to grow its network of Aged Care services and owns 3% of the residential aged care market in Australia.
