About Us
Community is home
Mosaic Living is a not-for-profit organisation and Australia’s largest provider of affordable Jewish accommodation for seniors.
We believe seniors are integral to our community, as caretakers of our collective stories and experiences. They inspire us every day as we seek to provide them with a sense of community in culture, a sense of safety and belonging, and a sense of independence.
As owners and operators of three independent living villages for seniors, we are guided by ethical and charitable principles in our mission to provide:
- Affordable independent living accommodations for Jewish seniors.
- Affordable accommodation for Jewish seniors with mental and/or physical disabilities who are equipped to live independently.
- Subsidised accommodation for Jewish seniors who are experiencing financial rental stress.
Caring for our elders and sharing the warmth and generosity of Jewish culture, from generation to generation.
Here at Mosaic Living, community means home.
Formerly B’nai B’rith Retirement Villages (BBRV), we were founded in Australia in the 1960s as an arm of the international Jewish organisation of the same name, which has a long history of supporting the Jewish community through challenging circumstances.
The organisation is founded upon the provision of humanitarian aid and support, in the spirit of Tzedekah (charity), one of the central tenets of Judaism. Initially setting out to provide dignified accommodation for displaced Holocaust survivors who migrated to Australia, today Mosaic Living continues to support and celebrate our seniors in the community, based on these same humanitarian principles.
