Job Description

About Us

Wyanga Aboriginal Aged Care is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation supporting our Elders to live independently, safely and with dignity on Country.

Our work is grounded in culture, connection and community. We don’t just deliver services - we walk alongside our Elders to ensure they are supported in a way that respects who they are, where they come from, and what matters to them.

About the Role

This role sits at the heart of how we support our Elders to remain independent, safe and connected at home.

As a Care Partner, you’ll work closely with clients to understand their needs, goals and what matters to them, and translate that into clear, practical care plans that support independence and wellbeing.

The role focuses on care planning and case management - actively monitoring how clients are going, identifying changes early, and making sure supports remain appropriate, effective and aligned to their goals and available funding.

You’ll build trusted relationships with clients and their families, providing guidance and continuity, while working alongside the broader team to ensure services are delivered in a way that makes sense for each person.

It’s a role suited to someone who brings strong judgement, a person-centred approach, and the ability to work independently while staying connected to a team environment.

Why This Role Matters

This is a role where the impact is seen every day.

It’s about:

  • supporting Elders to stay independent at home
  • strengthening connection to community
  • responding early when something isn’t right
  • ensuring care is meaningful, not just delivered

About You

You’ll bring experience in aged care, community services or a similar space, and feel comfortable working in a way that is respectful, practical and grounded.

You are someone who:

  • builds strong, trusting relationships
  • uses sound judgement and responds well to change
  • can manage a caseload and competing priorities
  • communicates clearly with clients, families and teams
  • understands the importance of culturally safe practice

Experience in care planning, case management or service coordination will be highly regarded.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Certificate IV or higher in Aged Care, Community Services or related field
  • Current National Police Check
  • Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain)
  • Current Driver’s Licence
  • Working knowledge of aged care programs (CHSP, Home Care Packages or Support at Home preferred)

Apply Now

If you’re looking for a role where you can apply your experience and contribute to meaningful outcomes for Elders and community, we’d love to hear from you.

Aboriginality is a genuine occupational requirement for this position, as permitted under Section 14(d) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW). However, Wyanga is an equal opportunity employer and where an appropriate Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander candidate cannot be identified, applications from non-Indigenous candidates with suitable experience and cultural competency will be considered.
