| I have spent the last 2 years working in aged care, providing assistance with daily living-such as showering, getting ready for the day, assisting with meals, cleaning rooms, using lifters to assist people with mobility, working night shift with limited staff and ensuring people are safe throughout the night, providing friendship and social care to people, checking observations (blood pressure, bgl’s, temp, pulse) for residents, cleaning, assisting with rehabilitation for people who have had recent injuries and surgeries, working with people affected with dementia, looking after people with acquired brain injuries and physical disabilities as well as life limiting illnesses and providing care for those who are palliative. I have loved every second of this role and have now moved to the Gold Coast in the hopes of continuing to provide these services to those who need a nurturing and professional carer.

| I have been in the Aged Care workforce for nearly 10 yrs. In those years I have come into contact with many wonderful people. My main work is with Ex Veterans. I like working in the community so the elderly are able to stay in their own home.I find this makes them happier and healthier. My main jobs have been domestic,shopping,appointments,respite with dementia clients and companionship.

I have recently located to the Gold Coast to be close to my family, I enjoy walking and gradening and watching a good movie. Family and friends are important to me.
