Boyup Brook Citizens Lodge

Boyup Brook Citizens Lodge in Boyup Brook is a residential aged care lodge providing residential care and support for older adults in the small agricultural town of Boyup Brook in the South West's Blackwood River valley, 260 km south-east of Perth, serving the grain farming and mixed-farming community of the Upper Blackwood Valley. The lodge enables older residents of Boyup Brook and surrounding farms to remain in their home community rather than relocating to Bunbury or Perth for residential care. Boyup Brook is famous as the country music capital of Western Australia, hosting an annual Country Music Festival, and its strong community spirit and agricultural heritage provide a distinctive setting for community-governed aged care in the South West.
