Aged Care Coordinator

An Aged Care Coordinator oversees the care and support of elderly individuals in various settings, such as residential aged care facilities or community services. You might coordinate care plans, manage staff, and ensure that residents receive appropriate medical attention, personal care, and social support. Aged Care Coordinators focus on improving the quality of life for elderly people by developing activities and services tailored to their needs and preferences.

Aged Care Coordinators play a vital role in the well-being of older Australians. You’ll need to be compassionate, organised, and have strong communication skills. You’ll work closely with families, healthcare professionals, and support staff to ensure that the elderly in your care are safe, comfortable, and well-supported.
