Lower Burdekin Home for the Aged Society in Home Hill is a community-governed residential aged care facility in Home Hill, one of Australia's major sugarcane towns on the southern Burdekin Delta, providing residential care for older adults of the Lower Burdekin's cane-farming and fishing communities. The society embodies the tradition of Queensland rural communities taking collective responsibility for ageing community members, enabling Home Hill's close-knit sugarcane community to care for its elders in place. Home Hill's position across the Burdekin River from Ayr, and its proximity to the famous Inkerman Mill and the Burdekin Delta's iconic cane fields, creates a distinctively North Queensland agricultural setting for aged care.
