With more than 800 team members and 200 volunteers, we’re here to help people keep living the life they love, with reliable in-home and community care, a local team who knows the neighbourhood, and the kind of support that always has time for a cuppa and a chat.

Here’s what you can expect

• Clear, supported career pathways and training to help you grow
• Full induction and buddy shifts
• Not-for-profit salary packaging ($15,900 per annum)
• Kilometres reimbursement
• Leave loading to make your time off even more rewarding
• Branded workwear
• Employee referral reward program - because good people know good people
• Fitness Passport - access to gyms and wellness facilities
• Employee Assistance Program - confidential support when you need it
• QLeave — portable long service leave that recognises long-term care work

• Sitting down for a cuppa and a chat, because sometimes company can mean just as much as practical help.
