About our specialised complex and high needs clinical team

We know the importance of trust when it comes to allowing new people into your home. Each of our Support Workers and every member of our clinical team has been carefully selected to give you confidence.

We handpick staff based on their qualifications, experience and caring personality. Reliability also matters a lot to us – just like we know it matters to you.

We employ Enrolled Nurses, Registered Nurses and Assistants in Nursing holding a current AHPRA registration, which means that they are legally registered to work in the profession here in Australia.

All of our Support Workers and clinical staff have up-to-date First Aid, CPR and other certifications, in addition to recent background checks before commencing employment. They also receive ongoing training to stay up to date with the latest support methods.

Qualifications and experience go a long way, but when it comes to you and your family, we know that compassion and respect matter most. This cannot be trained, which is why our face-to-face recruitment process is one of the most important elements that makes our team so popular with participants.
