  • Meal preparation and household tasks
  • Transport to appointments (driver license + insured vehicle required)

You'll be supported with clear and detailed care plans, including pain management, catheter care and complex bowel care—so you'll always feel confident and set up for success.

About you You'll shine in this role if you have:

  • Confidence with personal care, pressure care, bowel & catheter support

    (Don't have experience? We can provide training)
  • Current NDIS Worker Screening Check
  • Working With Children Check
