BaptistCare Directors’ report
For the year ended 30 June 2026 Directors’ report
The Directors present their report together with the financial statements of BaptistCare for the financial year ended 30 June 2026 and the auditor’s report. BaptistCare is a company limited by guarantee incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). It is registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), endorsed as an Income Tax Exempt Charity by the Australian Taxation Office, and recognised as a Public Benevolent Institution (PBI). 1. Objectives and Strategies During the year, BaptistCare launched a new national vision, purpose, values and brand. Guided by our purpose, Inspired by Jesus to champion care for all, and vision of Communities where everyone can live to their full potential, the Group continued to deliver care, housing and community services while pursuing sustainable growth and longterm positive impact. As we enter our second full year as a unified, national organisation, our strategy continues to reflect both a strong foundation and bold ambition. Our strategic approach balances immediate integration priorities with a long-term vision for impact, growth, and excellence. We continue to focus on the delivery of the FY26-27 strategy; a two-year roadmap to unite, adapt, grow and scale as a national, person-centred and faith-based organisation. This strategy positions us to deliver outstanding customer experience and professional services across aged care, community services and housing. Our priority remains on strengthening communities and improving wellbeing through the delivery of high-quality care, housing and community services. We are progressing the development of a five-year enterprise strategy to commence FY28 to guide the organisation through to the end of the decade. The strategy will be shaped by our Christian identity, our vision and purpose, the needs of those we serve, and the opportunities and challenges facing the sectors in which we operate. 2. Principal activities BaptistCare has three primary operating streams which work together to achieve the objectives of BaptistCare. These streams are as follows: •
Residential Services and Retirement Living – includes aged care homes;
•
Home Care – supporting seniors and their carers to live independently at home; and
•
Community Services and Housing – includes social and affordable housing and homelessness services, community places and development, children, youth and family programs, domestic and family violence services, adventure camping, mental health services, counselling services, aboriginal specific services, out of home care and disability (NDIS).
BaptistCare also delivers chaplaincy and spiritual care services across its services. 3. Financial Position, Operational Highlights and Significant Changes in State of Affairs The operating surplus of BaptistCare for the year ended 30 June 2026 was $44,253,000 (2025: a surplus of $518,241,000). During the financial year, the new Aged Care Act 2024 came into effect, impacting multiple business streams and respective operating models. The Group has considered the changes and amended business processes and systems to be compliant. The Group expanded its residential operations through the acquisition of 12 retirement villages and the commissioning of a new aged care site. Funding for the strategic growth was supported by the Group entering into new financing arrangements.

Sunrise Supported Living comprises 106 independent living units, while Sunrise Home Care provides services to residents of the village and clients across the broader Mid North Coast region. Approximately 90 employees transferred to BaptistCare as part of the transition. The Group also entered into an agreement with Keyton to acquire its Western Australian retirement village portfolio. The portfolio comprises 10 retirement villages across Western Australia, including eight in metropolitan Perth, one in Mandurah and one in Bunbury. The portfolio comprises 1,639 homes, including 1,568 independent living units and 71 independent living apartments, and is home to more than 2,080 residents. BaptistCare has assumed operational control of the villages as part of the transition. In 2025, BaptistCare completed the merger with Baptcare Ltd and its controlled entities, and Baptist Care (SA) Incorporated. As such, the comparative financial information for the year ended 30 June 2025 included the results of Baptcare Ltd and Baptist Care (SA) Incorporated for 4 months from 1 March 2025 and may not be entirely comparable. Following the merger, the entity changed its legal name from BaptistCare NSW & ACT to BaptistCare on 16 June 2025. The Group is a not-for-profit entity and is primarily involved in the provision of aged care services, psychosocial support programs, local area coordination, early childhood intervention services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), affordable housing solutions and asylum seeker accommodation and support services. 2. Basis of preparation Statement of compliance In the opinion of the Directors, BaptistCare is not publicly accountable. These consolidated financial statements are Tier 2 general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Simplified Disclosures adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission Act 2012. These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 9 October 2026. Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investment properties, equity securities, debt securities and managed funds, which are measured at fair value. Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is BaptistCare’s functional currency.

Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

At 30 June 2026, the Group has net assets of $1,097,228,000 (2025: $1,045,810,000) but a net deficiency in working capital (current liabilities exceed current assets) of $2,711,751,000 (2025: $1,890,417,000). Included in current liabilities is an amount of $2,532,769,000 (2025: $1,922,842,000) related to refundable loan arrangements. The deficiency in working capital arises because Australian Accounting Standards require the Group to classify obligations under the refundable loan agreements as current liabilities as the Group does not have the right to unconditionally defer payment beyond 12 months. However consistent with experience the Group expects repayment of refundable loans to be replaced by new residents. During the year, net cash inflow from residential aged care accommodation bonds amounted to $42,802,000 (2025: $59,926,000) and net cash inflow from retirement village amounted to $24,975,000 (2025: $50,453,000) as presented in the statement of cash flow. Further, the Group has available capital that it could draw down from within the investment portfolio totalling $273,346,000 (2025: $252,735,000) as disclosed in Note 9, to meet its financial obligations as they fall due and payable for the 12-month period from the date of the signed Directors’ Declaration. 3. Summary of material accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. (a) Revenue recognition policy Revenue from contracts with customers (AASB 15) The Group recognises revenue from contracts with customers when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the relevant contract, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Aged care, home care and other service revenue The Group recognises revenue from aged care, home care and other services over time as performance obligations are satisfied, which is as the services are rendered, primarily on a daily or monthly basis. Revenue arises from discretionary and non-discretionary services as agreed in contractual agreements with residents and clients. Fees received in advance of services performed are recognised as contract liabilities which are included within Trade and other payables. Recurrent grants Where an agreement is enforceable and contains sufficiently specific performance obligations, the revenue is recognised over time as the performance obligations to the grant agreement are fulfilled.

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (a) Revenue recognition policy (continued) Income of not-for-profit entities (AASB 1058) Grants – capital Capital grants received under an enforceable agreement to enable the Group to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment to identified specifications which will be controlled by BaptistCare are recognised as revenue as and when the obligation to construct or purchase is completed. For construction projects, this is generally as the construction progresses in accordance with costs incurred. For acquisition of assets, the revenue is recognised when the asset is acquired and controlled by the Group. Nature of revenue and cash flows Further detail on the nature of revenue and cash flows is included in the table below. Type of revenue
Description
Government revenue – aged care and home care
Government revenue reflects the Group’s entitlement to revenue from the Australian Government under the Aged Care Act 1997 and the Aged Care Act 2024 from 1 November 2025 based upon the specific care needs of residents and clients. Revenue is recognised over time as services are provided. Funding claims are submitted to the Government and are usually payable within one month of services being performed.
Government revenue – recurrent grants
Recurrent grants are received from the State and Federal Government to deliver outcome-based services on a range of programs to provide support to those most vulnerable in the community. Revenue is recognised over time as performance obligations are met. Funding is usually received in advance with a contract liability recorded for unspent funds.
Resident and client income
Residents and clients are charged a basic daily fee as a contribution to the provision of care. The quantum of resident and client fees is regulated by the Government. Basic daily fees are invoiced on a monthly basis and revenue is usually payable within 30 days.
Tenancy rental
Rent income from operating leases with tenants is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(b) Financial instruments (i) Recognition and initial measurement Receivables are initially recognised when they originate. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price. (ii) Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified and measured at: amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if in the period the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets. Restricted for internal use only18

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (b) Financial instruments (continued) A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
•
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
•
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
•
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
•
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. Subsequent measurement and gains and losses Financial assets at amortised cost
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in the surplus for the year.
Equity instruments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. For equity instruments other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to the surplus for the year.
Debt instruments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated under the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Debt and equity instruments at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. (c) Investment properties (i) Recognition and measurement Investment properties comprise Independent Living Units of the Group. Independent Living Units are held to earn rent or for capital appreciation rather than service delivery obligations. Restricted for internal use only19

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (c) Investment properties (continued) (i) Recognition and measurement (continued) Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including any acquisition costs, and are held to generate income from deferred management fees and the Group’s share of the change in the market value of the investment. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value at each balance date. Changes in fair value are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as a part of change in fair value of investment properties. If an investment property is disposed, the gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of the disposal and the net proceeds on disposal and is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year of disposal. (d) Property, plant and equipment (ii) Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (iii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised as property expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Depreciation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: • • • • • •
Buildings Leasehold improvements Plant, furniture, and equipment Computer equipment Motor Vehicles Leased land
25 - 50 years 3 - 40 years 3 - 40 years 3 - 5 years 5 - 10 years Lease term
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. Restricted for internal use only20

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (e) Intangible assets (i) Recognition and measurement Computer software Computer software is recognised as an intangible asset unless the software is integral to the operation of the related property, plant and equipment. Computer software treated as an intangible asset is initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss (see Note 12). Goodwill Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets, including customer contracts, that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. (ii) Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in property expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred. (iii) Amortisation Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: • Computer software • Customers contracts
3 - 5 years 6 years
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. (iv) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangement SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Group with the right to access the cloud provider’s application software over the contract period. As such, the Group does not receive a software intangible asset at the contract commencement date. A right to receive future access to the supplier’s software does not, at the contract commencement date, give the customer the power to obtain the future economic benefits flowing from the software itself and to restrict other’s access to those benefits. Costs incurred for the development of software code that enhances or modifies, or creates additional capability to, existing on-premises systems and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible asset are recognised as intangible software assets. (f) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the firstin first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (g) Impairment (i) Financial assets The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost and contract assets (e.g. bid costs). Credit impaired financial assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the statement of financial position Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying value of the assets. Write off The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. (ii) Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and investment properties, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. For intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to cashgenerating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the corporate asset belongs. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in impairment loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is revered only to the extent the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised. (h) Leases At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (h) Leases (continued) As a lessee The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use assets is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of asset leased. The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'property, plant and equipment' and lease liabilities in 'loans and borrowings' in the statement of financial position. Short term leases and leases of low value assets The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Peppercorn or concessionary leases The Group is a party to 22 arrangements which would meet the definition of a peppercorn or concessionary lease. As allowed by AASB 16, the Group has elected to record these leases at cost rather than fair value. As a lessor Residential aged care For residents receiving residential aged care services under a refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) or accommodation bond agreement, the Group has determined these arrangements are considered leases for accounting purposes under AASB 16 Leases, with the Group acting as lessor. The Group discloses Daily Accommodation Payments (DAP), Daily Accommodation Contributions (DAC) and accommodation supplement revenue under lease income, separate from revenue from contracts with customers (refer Note 4). Under the Aged Care Act 2024, Approval Providers deduct a retention amount from the RAD paid by residents who entered care on or after 1 November 2025. The amount is calculated daily at a rate of 2% per annum of the outstanding RAD balance, capped at 10% over 5 years. Retirement villages Deferred management fee (DMF) revenue represents the fee that is contractually deducted from the ingoing contribution that is repaid to a resident upon exit from a retirement village. DMF revenue is recognised over the expected period of the resident’s occupancy. The Group discloses this revenue under lease income, separately from revenue from contracts with customers (refer Note 4).

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (i) Employee benefits (i) Defined contributions plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. (ii) Other long-term employee benefits The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The provision for employee benefits for long service is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on turnover history and is discounted using the rates attaching to corporate bonds at reporting date which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. The unwinding of the discount is treated as long service leave expense. (iii) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. (j) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. (i) Make good A make good provision is recognised when the Group enters into a lease contract that requires the property to be returned to the lessor in its original condition. The provision is based on the expected future cost of the refurbishment discounted to reflect current market assessments. (ii) Restructuring – redundancies A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating losses are not provided. (iii) Capital gain sharing provision Capital gain sharing provision is recognised for the Group’s contractual obligation to share capital gains on retirement village units with residents. (k) Retirement villages income and expenditure The Group maintains separate resident statements of income and expenditure in accordance with the Retirement Villages Act 1999 (NSW), Retirement Villages Act 1992 (WA), Retirement Villages Act 1986 (VIC), Retirement Villages Act 2012 (ACT), and Retirement Villages Act 2004 (TAS) (The Acts). The resident income and expenditure is controlled by the residents' committees. The Group records the net surplus on the income and expenditure statement as a liability to the individual village. The Group is required to make good any deficit of a retirement village in accordance with the Acts.

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (l) Finance income and finance costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, and dividend income. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in finance income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in finance income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date. Finance costs comprise the unwinding of the discount on finance leases and interest expense on the loan which is recognised using the effective interest method. (m) Income tax The majority of entities with the BaptistCare group are charitable entities exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Where entities within the group are subject to income tax, tax expense has been recognised in accordance with applicable accounting standards. (n) Business of consolidation (i) Business Combination The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group and the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business under AASB 3 Business Combinations. The acquisition date is the date on which control of the acquired business is obtained. The consideration transferred is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The Group recognises the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, except for assets and liabilities for which specific measurement requirements are prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards. Acquisition-related costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, are recognised as expenses as incurred. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred, together with any non-controlling interest and the fair value of any previously held interest, over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Where the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the consideration transferred and any other amounts included in the calculation of goodwill, the resulting gain on a bargain purchase is recognised immediately in surplus or deficit after reassessment of the acquisition accounting. Where the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete at the end of the reporting period, provisional amounts are recognised for items for which the accounting cannot be finalised. During the measurement period, provisional amounts are retrospectively adjusted to reflect new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The measurement period cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date. During the year, the Group completed the acquisitions of the Keyton Western Australia retirement village portfolio and Sunrise Group. Both transactions have been accounted for as business combinations in accordance with AASB 3. Further details are disclosed in Note 20 Business combinations. (ii) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group ‘control’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statement of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases (iii) Loss of control When the Group loses control over subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. Restricted for internal use only25

3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued) (n) Business of consolidation (continued) (iv) Transaction eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (o) Change in material accounting policies A number of new standard and amendments were effective from 1 July 2025, but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Investment properties comprise Independent Living Units (‘ILU’) in Retirement Villages located throughout Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Western Australia. The retirement villages are subject to loan licence or leasehold agreements which confer the right to occupancy of the unit until such time as the resident’s occupancy terminates and the occupancy rights are transferred to another resident. Upon entry, a resident will loan the Group an amount equal to the fair value of the unit. On termination, the resident is entitled to repayment of the loan inclusive of a share in fair value uplift since the agreement date (if included in the contract), less a deferred management fee.

The fair value adjustment of $103,374,000 represents the outcome of the annual valuation review of the Group’s portfolio in accordance with the accounting policy. During the year, the Group acquired retirement village properties as part of the Keyton Western Australia and Sunrise Group business combinations. The acquired investment properties were initially recognised at their acquisition-date fair values in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations and are subsequently measured to fair value at 30 June 2026 in accordance with AASB 140 Investment Property. The acquisition-date fair values of the Keyton and Sunrise Group retirement village portfolios were supported by independent valuations undertaken by Colliers, with other tangible assets acquired generally recognised at amounts that approximated their fair values. Information regarding the acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is included in Note 20. Fair Value The existing Independent Living Units were independently valued by Ernst & Young at 30 June 2026, with the investment properties relating to those acquired in the Keyton and Sunrise Group acquisitions separately valued by Colliers on acquisition date and subsequently at balance date. The basis of the Independent Living Units valuation was fair value using a discounted cash flow technique. The fair value of Independent Living Units was determined to be the aggregate of the resident entry contributions, expressed as a nominal value and including capital gain share, the net fair value of occupied properties on a going concern basis and the fair value of any new unsold properties. The measurement of fair value may in some cases be subjective and may depend on the inputs used in the calculations.

10. Investment properties (continued) The key assumptions used in determining the fair value for the Group’s portfolio of properties were in the following ranges: Inputs used to measure fair value
Range of inputs - 2026
Range of inputs - 2025
12.00% – 15.75%
14.50% – 17.0%
Property growth rates
2.82%-4.32%
2.65% – 3.25% per annum
Market value of units
Specific to each retirement village
Specific to each retirement village
Average tenure period
4 – 10 years
9 – 14 years
Discount rates
Increasing the discount rate and average subsequent tenure periods would reduce the fair value of the investment properties and vice-versa. Increasing the assumptions made about the market value of units and property price growth rates would increase the fair value of investment properties and vice-versa. The valuation has been disclosed in the financial statements to record separately the investment property asset and the amount of the resident loan liabilities as follows: Valuation reconciliation In thousands of AUD Investment property gross Less: capital work in progress* Investment property (excluding capital works in progress) Less: refundable loans - ingoing contributions* (Note 14) Less: deferred revenue (Note 18) Less: capital gain provision (Note 17) Net valuation

i.
Consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2026

i.
ii.
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2026, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Simplified Disclosures Framework and Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulations 2022 (ACNCR).
The Group consists of the Company and the entities it controlled at the year end or from time to time during the financial year.
Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the ACNC Act 2012 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Other Information Other Information is financial and non-financial information in BaptistCare’s annual report which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information. Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The Directors are responsible for: •
preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards -Simplified Disclosures Framework and the ACNC and ACNR.
•
implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report in true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
•
assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group and company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objective is: •
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
•
to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. 45
Our objective is: i.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Financial Report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: i.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
ii.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the Audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the registered Group’s internal control.
iii.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
iv.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors ‘use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the registered Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor’s Report to the related disclosures in the Financial Report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditor’s Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the registered Group and company to cease to continue as a going concern.
v.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Report, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
vi.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors of the registered Company regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 46
