  • A recognised degree in Occupational Therapy and AHPRA registration.
  • A valid and current unrestricted driver's license.
  • Demonstrated understanding and experience of aged care issues, the aged care service system (My Aged Care) and empathy with older adults is essential.

  • A compassionate, flexible and positive approach to effective patient care and management.
  • The ability to nurture friendly, respectful relationships and contribute to a collaborative team environment.
