What our carers love about working here

Unexpected opportunities to grow:

You'll find ongoing training and support that allows you bigger responsibilities, more senior roles and potential pay increases. Our preference is to promote from within, so there are opportunities to specialise, become an RN, or move into a non-clinical management role. We offer carer roles across our home, residential and lifestyle services, giving you variety beyond the expected.

One team, united in our purpose:

We support older people to have great lives. We put older people first in everything we do. On an everyday level, we help them age with dignity, independence, happiness, and connectedness. On a big picture level, we're challenging ageist thinking in Australia. This is the Warrigal Way, creating a world where older people feel known, loved and connected.

Who we are | A community who cares

Warrigal has firmly established itself in the aged care community for over 60 years. We're proud of the diverse range of retirement living and aged care services we've built up in that time, but we still have the same appetite to grow and innovate. Meaning, you'll have the chance to move around, get promoted or explore different areas across our expanding business in Illawarra, Southern Highlands, Queanbeyan, and Canberra – if that's what you want.
