Carrum Downs, Victoria, Australia MiCare Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Make a lasting impact in a values-driven organisation supporting diverse communities

MiCare is a not-for-profit organisation that exists to enable people from diverse backgrounds to lead dignified and meaningful lives. We offer aged care, home care, retirement living and migrant support services, with a strong focus on culturally appropriate care and community connection.

With teams located across Victoria and Queensland, we embrace diversity in both our workforce and the communities we support. At MiCare, you'll join a compassionate, dedicated group of people working to deliver real impact every day.

The Role

We're looking for a proactive safety professional who thrives on building safe and supportive environments. This role is about more than compliance, it's about embedding a culture where safety is everyone's business and wellbeing is a shared responsibility. Reporting to the HR Manager and working closely with leaders across Victoria and Queensland, you will:

  • Lead risk assessments, audits and incident investigations to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.
  • Manage the end to end incident and injury management process, including Workers' Compensation claims in VIC and QLD.
  • Provide expert WHS advice, training and support to leaders and staff.
  • Drive engagement in safety initiatives and promote shared accountability.
  • Analyse safety performance data and recommend improvement strategies

What We're Looking For

  • Tertiary qualification in Work Health and Safety or equivalent experience
  • Return to Work Coordinator accreditation (essential)
  • Srong understanding of WHS legislation and workers compensation schemes in Victoria (WorkSafe VIC is essential)
  • Knowledge of Queensland WHS and workers compensation frameworks (WorkCover QLD), or a willingness to gain this knowledge
  • Experience in aged care, healthcare or community services (highly desirable)
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to coach and influence
  • A collaborative, proactive approach with a genuine commitment to wellbeing

Why MiCare?

  • Save on tax with generous salary packaging benefits — novated leasing, general living expenses, meal entertainment, holiday accommodation and venue hire.
  • Enjoy exclusive perks via our employee wellness portal — access to amazing discounts on everyday items.
  • Achieve true work life balance — hybrid working between home and the office, with the flexibility to choose your primary office location (Carrum Downs or Kilsyth).
  • Act as a change agent — drive real transformation in a purpose-led organisation.
  • Be part of a multicultural, values-led team making a real difference in the community.
  • Grow with us — access professional development in a supportive, collaborative environment.

To be considered for this role you must be an Australian or New Zealand Citizen or permanent resident. The successful applicant must satisfactorily complete all pre-employment checks, including National Police Check, Working with Children Check, NDIS Check and influenza and COVID 19 Vaccinations.

How to Apply?

If you're ready to champion safety and wellbeing in a purpose driven organisation, we'd love to hear from you. When applying, please combine your CV and cover letter into one document and upload it as part of your application.

You can also review the Position Description for further information about the role and requirements.

Applications close 9:00am, Monday, 25 August 2025.
