Abstract
Over the last forty years sustainability theory has been developed as a tool for assessing the
health and viability of businesses, communities and organisations (McKenzie 2004). This
paper will review emerging concepts of sustainability in the context of small community
organisations that provide services to older people. It will identify the measurements and
indicators that can be used to assess sustainability in this sector. The second part of the paper
will consider several case studies of community organisations for older people in Australia
and the United Kingdom. The paper will identify sustainability issues that impact on the
operational and long term outcomes of these organisations. The final part of the paper will
highlight areas of good practice that allow community based organisations to remain
sustainable.
