- Provide guidance regarding Home Care funding, budgets, service utilisation and care planning decisions.
- Monitor changing needs and risks, escalating clinical concerns appropriately.
- Coordinate complex supports, including restorative care, end-of-life care, and assistive technology/home modifications.
- Work closely with participants, families, clinicians, and care teams to achieve positive outcomes.
- Support reassessments, case conferences, and ongoing care planning.
- Maintain accurate, timely documentation and meet quality and compliance requirements.
- Promote dignity, informed choice, supported decision-making and culturally safe care.
- Occasionally provide direct care support where required; however, the primary focus of this role is care coordination, participant portfolio management and service planning.

- Current First Aid Certificate.
- Relevant medication support and healthy body systems competencies.

- Strong care planning, coordination, and risk-management skills.
- Ability to recognise changing or complex needs and escalate concerns appropriately.
- Excellent communication, relationship-building and problem-solving skills.
- A strong person-centred, culturally secure, and reablement-focused approach.
- Confidence managing participant budgets and coordinating services.
- Competence using digital care management systems and Microsoft Office.
- Experience with My Aged Care, dementia, complex ageing, or palliative care is highly regarded.

Why join us?
