What our people love about working here

One team, united in our purpose: We support our older people to feel known, loved and connected. 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.

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.

Create a meaningful legacy

At Warrigal, you're not just doing care work. You're shaping a society that respects and celebrates ageing, connects families, and frees up their time to create treasured, lasting memories. You're creating a culture of kindness, compassion and understanding, that can be passed down to future generations. Let this be your legacy.
