Live Well Home & Community Services is a trusted provider of in-home aged care, supporting older Australians to live independently, safely, and with dignity. We deliver services across Victoria, NSW, and ACT, supporting clients across multiple communities.
We are a growing organisation with a strong focus on service excellence, client experience, and sustainable growth. We foster a culture of accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement, where every team member plays a valued role in achieving meaningful outcomes for our clients.
We’re looking for a proactive and compassionate Intake Officer to be the first point of contact for clients seeking aged care support. This is a dynamic role combining client engagement, coordination, and conversion, where your ability to connect with people and deliver a seamless onboarding experience will directly impact lives.
About the Role
As an Intake Officer, you will play a critical role in supporting prospective clients and their families from their first enquiry through to service commencement. You’ll manage incoming leads, assess client needs, and coordinate care services — all while ensuring a smooth, supportive, and professional experience.
Whilst our support office is in Heidelberg, this is a predominantly community-based role, with daily travel required to attend client onboardings, community engagements, or networking opportunities.

- Provide clear information on services, pricing, and funding options

Stakeholder Engagement
- Build relationships with Hospitals, GPs, My Aged Care, Single Assessment Services teams, and community organisations
- Attend networking events and community expos
- Provide insights into market trends and client needs
Administration & Compliance
- Maintain accurate CRM records and documentation
- Track enquiry and conversion metrics
- Ensure compliance with Aged Care Standards and privacy requirements
About You
You are a confident communicator who thrives on building trust and delivering results. You’re organised, proactive, and genuinely care about improving client outcomes.
You will bring:
- Minimum 2+ years’ experience in aged care, home care, disability services, customer service or health administration

- Experience using CRM systems
- Driver’s licence and willingness to travel daily across Greater Melbourne and fortnightly to Geelong
Desirable (but not essential)
- Certificate III/IV in Aged Care, Community Services or Business
- Experience with My Aged Care portals and familiarity with systems like HubSpot or Lookout Way
- Experience working with seniors, CALD communities and vulnerable communities
