7 weeks paid leave per annum
Collaborative and high performing team within a well-resourced
Community Aged Care position
This is an opportunity to shape—not simply maintain—the quality and governance framework for the community-based services of a respected, well-established not-for-profit aged care provider.
Working within a supportive and well-resourced organisation, you will help establish and embed the governance structures, systems and practices needed to support high-quality, safe and compliant community aged care and disability services.
There is meaningful foundational work to be done.
We are therefore looking for someone who is comfortable assessing what is currently in place, identifying gaps and developing practical frameworks, systems and processes from the ground up.
You will need to balance strong technical knowledge with the ability to engage operational teams and bring people with you.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the General Manager, Quality and Compliance, you will lead quality, compliance and continuous improvement activity across the organisation's community-based services.
You will work collaboratively with operational leaders, clinical teams and other stakeholders to strengthen governance, improve audit readiness and embed sustainable systems that align with the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards and associated legislation.
This is a hands-on position for someone who can move confidently between strategic governance work and detailed implementation.
You will have the scope to influence how quality and compliance are understood and applied across the service—not simply monitor adherence.
Key Responsibilities
Review the existing community-care governance environment and identify priorities, risks and gaps
Develop and embed fit-for-purpose governance structures, quality systems and compliance frameworks
Support ongoing compliance with the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, Aged Care Act ****, Aged Care Rules and other relevant requirements
Develop, review and maintain policies, procedures, registers, tools and compliance documentation




Lead internal audits and support external audits, regulatory visits and provider registration processes
Strengthen systems for clinical governance, incident management, complaints, risk and continuous improvement
Coordinate responses to the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, including complaints, SIRS notifications and regulatory submissions
Assist with investigations into serious or high-risk incidents, complaints and emerging trends
Analyse quality and operational data to identify risks, themes and improvement opportunities
Develop practical reporting and oversight mechanisms that provide leadership with clear visibility of quality and compliance performance
Coach and support managers and employees to understand their responsibilities and embed best practice
Develop and deliver quality and compliance education where required
Contribute to broader organisational projects, system improvements and quality-indicator reporting
About You
You are an experienced quality and compliance professional who understands the realities of delivering care in community settings. You will be comfortable entering an workplace where some frameworks still need to be created, strengthened or better connected. You can bring structure to complexity, translate regulation into practical operating processes and establish systems that people will genuinely use. You will also be a credible and cooperative partner to operational teams. Your approach will be solutions-focused and educational, while maintaining appropriate oversight and accountability.
