Fifty years of designing commercial kitchens for health and aged care

 

This year Caterlink celebrates 50 years in the commercial kitchen industry, marking five decades of supporting healthcare, aged care and hospitality providers across Australia. Over this time our focus has remained consistent: delivering practical, reliable and well-designed kitchen solutions that support better operational outcomes in care environments.

With experienced teams based in Perth and Melbourne, Caterlink delivers complete end-to-end solutions for commercial kitchens and bars, ranging from small servery kitchens to complex, large-scale healthcare facilities. Our longstanding involvement in healthcare has been shaped by a deep understanding of compliance requirements, workflow efficiency, food safety and the daily pressures faced by chefs, operators and facility managers.

Trusted Experience Across Healthcare Projects

Caterlink has extensive experience partnering with architects, consultants and operators across the aged care and healthcare sectors. Over the years we have contributed to projects for aged care providers throughout Australia.

Our healthcare portfolio also includes major hospital projects such as Fiona Stanley Hospital, Joondalup Health Campus, Perth Children’s Hospital and St John of God Health Care in WA, and GVH Shepparton, Heathcote Health and Yea Memorial Hospital in Victoria, alongside many others. These projects reflect Caterlink’s ability to deliver solutions that perform reliably in high-demand, 24-hour care environments.

End-to-End Solutions Designed for Care Environments

Caterlink provides a complete suite of services including kitchen design, equipment selection, project management, installation, commissioning and ongoing service and maintenance. In healthcare and aged care settings, our approach prioritises efficient workflows, support for diverse and texture-modified dietary requirements, strong food safety compliance and equipment reliability that teams can depend on every day.

Experience Our Showrooms and March Equipment Specials

March 2026 is a significant month for Caterlink as we celebrate our 50th anniversary alongside the launch of our new Melbourne Experience Centre in Mulgrave. This new showroom marks an important step in Caterlink’s national expansion and provides healthcare and hospitality professionals with a new venue to explore equipment and design options, and other solutions in person.

Throughout March, Caterlink will be running a wide range of national special equipment offers across cooking, refrigeration, preparation equipment and exhaust canopies, giving operators and project teams an opportunity to review solutions suited to healthcare and aged care environments. Visitors will also be able to attend live demonstrations led by our experienced sales consultants, showcasing innovative technologies such as the Botinkit kitchen robot, Merrychef speed ovens and advanced Qualityfry equipment.

Healthcare and aged care professionals are invited to visit our Perth or Melbourne showrooms to speak with our team, attend a demonstration and explore current promotions.
