Earlier this month, Respect welcomed the home known as Killean into our not-for-profit aged care community. As we start this new chapter with Inverell, we believe it's an ideal time to acknowledge this exciting new direction by updating the home's name to reflect what's meaningful to the community. Importantly, we want the new name to recognise the history behind the home, and we are inviting staff, residents, families and the community to have their say in this important decision.

Hector Neil McLean, an Inverell grazier and community figure, left his own property, Killean, in his will to build a convalescent home for the town - the site where this home now stands. We think it’s important that his contribution continues to be recognised, which is why each of the proposed names retains McLean.

Vote for the proposed name for Killean, Inverell from the options below.

As a thank you for getting involved, one person who votes for the eventual winning name will be randomly selected to receive $2,500, with another $2,500 donated to a local charity of their choice.

Voting closes 1 October 2026.
