Canowindra Community Care is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led aged care provider based in Tweed Heads, New South Wales. For more than 25 years, the organisation has supported older people, with a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders, while also welcoming other members of the community. Its services help people aged 55 and over maintain independence, dignity and quality of life, and can assist families to understand eligibility and access appropriate support.

Canowindra offers flexible home care packages, community support and the Commonwealth Home Support Program, alongside Aboriginal home support and respite services. Cedric House is its local five-bed respite cottage, providing a place for older people to take a break from home care and for families to rest. All Canowindra staff are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and the organisation describes its approach as caring, culturally sensitive and grounded in community. Through practical help at home, respite and welcoming activities, Canowindra aims to make it easier for elders and families to spend meaningful time together.
