RSL LifeCare is a for‑purpose organisation delivering leading veteran support and aged care services. For more than 100 years, we have been committed to supporting veterans and their families, and our vision remains constant: to create proud communities where people live their best
Joining RSL LifeCare means becoming part of a large, mission‑driven organisation where your skills, compassion and commitment will be valued—and where you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we serve.
We are looking for a Veteran Housing Peer Worker to join our Homes for Heroes team on a part-time basis (3 days per week).
This role is designed for someone with lived or living experience of military service and housing instability or homelessness who is ready to use that experience intentionally and safely to support other veterans.
You will walk alongside veterans as they prepare for and transition from Homes for Heroes into long-term housing, helping them build confidence, strengthen community connections and work towards sustainable independence.
Working within a broader housing team, you will provide trauma-informed, strengths-based peer support that recognises each veteran's unique experiences, choices and goals. Through mentoring, practical support, service navigation and genuine connection, you will help veterans identify and build on their strengths while supporting successful housing and wellbeing outcomes.
This role requires regular travel to support veterans within the community as they establish themselves in long-term housing and reconnect with local supports and services.
We are proud to stand for our unique values: Do the Right Thing, Aim Higher, Care from the Heart, and Act as One team.
We welcome and encourage applications from people across our diverse community, especially from Veterans, current serving ADF personnel, their families and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants. We believe everyone has the right to feel safe, respected, valued and heard regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability.
It is a mandatory requirement for a team member working in the Aged Care sector to have a valid Police Check or a valid National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) check, or potentially both, to undertake the inherent requirements of the role. Clearances must be verified prior to commencing employment with RSL LifeCare.
