About Us

At Respect, we’re proud to be the largest provider of aged care services in Regional Australia.

As a not-for-profit organisation, everything we do is driven by our commitment to supporting older Australians with dignity, compassion and genuine connection.

We’re a growing, values-led organisation with a strong focus on our residents, their families and our team. When you join Respect, you become part of a supportive community that thrives on collaboration, trust and the shared belief that everyone deserves to feel valued.

If you’re looking for an organisation that invests in its people, celebrates purpose, and offers meaningful career pathways, you’ll feel right at home with us.

About The Role

Set in the warm, down-to-earth community of Mareeba, life here is all about practicality, sunshine, and genuine connection. It’s not a fast-paced city—expect hot days, a close-knit community, and a slower lifestyle outside of work. In return, you’ll find space to breathe, affordable living, and a grounded environment where people support each other and value the work you do.

In this role, you will work collaboratively with Registered Nurses and care staff to support clinical outcomes, monitor resident wellbeing, and contribute to a safe, respectful, and welcoming care environment where dignity guides everyday practice.

This is a rewarding opportunity to build meaningful connections with residents and their families while being part of a supportive team that values professionalism, collaboration, and ongoing development. If you are adaptable, reliable, and committed to delivering thoughtful, resident-focused care, we would love to hear from you.

No two days are the same! As Registered Nurse, you will:

• Conduct comprehensive admission and ongoing assessments with residents and families to identify care needs and support individualised care planning.
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation that reflects care delivery and resident outcomes.
• Administer medications safely and ensure correct handling, storage, and record-keeping.
• Monitor residents’ health, report changes promptly to Registered Nurses, and support the care team in delivering safe, person-centred care.
• Participate in team handovers, care planning discussions, and initiatives that promote a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for residents

• Strong clinical skills, sound judgement, and the ability to monitor, assess, and respond to changes in residents’ health.
• Knowledge of residential care practices, care planning, clinical documentation, and the Commonwealth Aged Care Funding Instrument.
• Understanding of aged care accreditation processes and a commitment to providing safe, high-quality, person-centred care.
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with residents, families, and the care team.
• Current National Police Certificate and NDIS Workers Screening Clearance (or ability to obtain), required immunisations, and a flexible, professional approach to shift work.
