FUNLHN Information

About the Role:

At Flinders and Upper North Local Health Network (FUNLHN), we've embraced a Consumer Directed Care model that empowers individuals to take control of their own aged care, disability, and support services. This approach gives consumers the freedom to choose the services they receive, who delivers them, and how their care is managed—putting them firmly in the driver's seat of their own wellbeing.

As a Community Support Worker, you will play a vital role in this empowering model by delivering personalised care that supports people to live independently in their own homes or within Residential Aged Care facilities. Your work will span personal care, cleaning, meal preparation, transport, and social support—tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of each consumer.

This role requires flexibility, empathy, and the ability to work autonomously while collaborating closely with consumers, their families, and health professionals to achieve meaningful outcomes. You'll be more than a support worker—you'll be a trusted partner in helping people maintain their independence and quality of life.

FUNLHN is committed to your growth and development, offering ongoing education and opportunities to expand your skills so you can continue to deliver responsive, high-quality care that truly makes a difference. Join us and be part of a compassionate team dedicated to putting consumers first.
