Monash Lodge

Monash Lodge in Clermont is a residential aged care facility in Clermont, the major town of the Isaac and Belyando coalfields region 270 km south-west of Mackay, providing residential care for older adults of the Central Queensland coalfields and surrounding cattle-grazing communities. The facility serves the farming and mining community of the Clermont and Peak Downs areas, enabling older residents to remain in the coalfields region rather than relocating to Rockhampton or Mackay for aged care. Clermont's position between the Bowen Basin coalfields and the Central Highlands pastoral country creates a distinctive coal-and-cattle community setting for aged care.
