Aged Care Worker

Aged Care Workers assist the elderly at aged care facilities or in their own home. They help their clients prepare meals, go shopping, collect medication, and visit the doctor — plus personal services like dressing, basic mobility, showering, and cleaning the house.

As an Aged Care Worker you’ll develop a strong relationship with your clients as well as their families. At times you’ll be liaising with family members about health issues, medication, and other concerns.
