The Burnie Brae Centre is a Not-for-Profit Incorporated Organisation. It operates a large Over 50's centre offering a wide range of social, educational and recreational activities and community services for “fitter” seniors, frail aged persons and younger people with disabilities.

Centre activities include Library, Computer, Hairdresser, Functions and Trips, Craft, Health and Fitness activities, Dance, Sports, a Cafe and Community Garden and a gymnasium to open in the latter half of 2011.

Services including Centre-based Day and In-home Respite, Domestic Assistance, Social Support, Younger Adult Disability groups, Transport, Home Maintenance, Podiatry and Project pantry are intended to support eligible clients to remain living in their homes thereby avoiding premature admission to residential care. They provide a wide range of programs which are subsidy funded by State and Federal Governments through the Home and Community Care (HACC) Program and Queensland Housing. Assessment and small fees apply.
