Aruma Lodge is an aged care facility in Broken Hill, NSW, operated by Southern Cross Care (Broken Hill) Ltd, which joined Southern Cross Care Queensland (SCCQ) on 13 June 2025. SCCQ is a Catholic, not-for-profit organisation with more than 40 years of experience supporting older Australians. The organisation provides both residential aged care and retirement living services across Broken Hill and Mildura. The website has been decommissioned following the merger and redirects entirely to a transition notice, so detailed facility-specific information is not available.

Compliance action The regulator (the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission) can take formal action when a home falls short of the standards — from a direction to improve, up to a Notice of Non-Compliance or sanctions. "None current" means no action was recorded against this home in the Government's latest quarterly extract (May 2026).
