Our staff are our valued partners and key to Sunnyfield’s success. As advocates of diversity, inclusivity and equality, we strive to have a team that reflects the diversity of the people we support, so their needs are met to the best of our ability.

- Ability to support others with personal and hygiene care - and happy for this to be part of your job
- Current Australian drivers licence
- Current First Aid and CPR certificate
