Brightwater Care Group operates nine nursing homes, one retirement village and eight supported independent living sharehouses for people with complex disabilities. They are one of the leading aged care agencies in Perth.
With operations throughout the metropolitan area and a lot of mobile staff, moving towards using electric vehicles is one way of improving the organisation’s environmental sustainability.
Brightwater intends to increase the use of EVs, making the switch as new fleet vehicles are introduced. The number of chargers will increase to cater for the larger fleet as well as for staff with private EVs.
