Our History

In 1969, prominent members of the local community, led by Mr Owen Tuckey, met and formed a committee to consider the establishment of a retirement village for seniors living in Mandurah.

The late Mr Owen Tuckey and his wife Mrs Judith Tuckey, who continues to be our patron today,- generously donated two acres of land to build the retirement village on.

Officially Mandurah Retirement Village Inc, now known as Coolibah Care, was founded on 15th July 1969 and was incorporated as a charitable, not-for-profit organisation.

In 1969, the vision set by the founding committee was “that every retired person is entitled to peaceful, quiet and secure enjoyment of their accommodation together . This includes security of tenure and providing an environment for the elderly whereby they can maintain their independence and human dignity”.

Today, the Coolibah Board of Directors, management and the broader team are proud to hold true to this vision set by its founders, with our Purpose being “to meet the needs of the local community with a caring and quality service”.
