About Us

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

Our work is grounded in culture, connection and community. We walk alongside our Elders, providing support that respects who they are, where they come from and what matters to them.

About the Role

As a Care Partner, you’ll build trusted relationships with Elders and work alongside them to understand their needs, goals and preferences.

You’ll manage a client caseload, develop and review practical care plans, and coordinate supports that help Elders remain independent and connected at home. You’ll monitor how things are going, respond to changes early and ensure services remain appropriate to each person’s goals and available funding.

Working with families, authorised supporters, the Wyanga team and external providers, you’ll help Elders navigate their care and maintain continuity of support.

What you’ll do

• Undertake assessments and home visits to understand each Elder’s needs, circumstances and goals.
• Develop, implement and review care plans with Elders and their chosen supporters.
• Coordinate services and referrals, following up to ensure supports are meeting the Elder’s needs.
• Monitor changes in wellbeing, identify risks and escalate concerns appropriately.
• Help Elders understand their services, funding and available options.
• Monitor service use and available budgets, working with the team to address gaps or changing needs.
• Maintain accurate, timely client records, case notes and care documentation.
• Work collaboratively to deliver culturally safe, respectful and person-centred care.

• Builds strong, respectful relationships with Elders, families and community.

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