When was the last time you made a difference in someone's life?

- Washing, folding and ironing laundry.
- Meal preparation and grocery shopping.

You will also be providing our aged care clients with personal care services such as:

- Getting clients out of bed, showered and dressed for the day.
- Assisting clients to take their medications.
- Assisting with mobility and therapy goals.
- Providing complex care for customers with high care needs, such as dementia.
- Providing social and emotional support.
- Providing the client with transport to lifestyle activities or appointments.
- Helping the family carer to have a break or an opportunity to do other things.
