Love the idea of combining your qualifications with adventure, variety, and meaningful work?

As an Aged Care Comprehensive Assessor, you'll use your professional expertise to make a real difference in the lives of older Australians while exploring the diverse and vibrant communities of Far North Queensland.

- At least 1 year in aged care, including client assessments and/or service delivery
- Current Australian driver’s licence, comprehensively insured vehicle, and the ability to travel within your service area
