Content Summary:

An AGWS working group on aged care, consisting of community groups and professionals, was established in 1976. It later separated from AGWS to maintain its clarity of purpose, although it remained an informal association. In 1982 it became an incorporated charity and was subsequently re-titled Fronditha. Its chief aim at foundation was to highlight aged care as a cause and to promote the concept of residential care amongst the Greek community itself. The organisation has subsequently been responsible for the construction and management for several hostels and nursing homes.

Spiro Moraitis was an AGSCE Trustee 1977-1981 and became a Life Governor in 1984. Margaret Moraitis was also a foundation member. The papers in this series include newsletters, annual reports, press cuttings, correspondences, notices and articles.
