About ACNA

Our charter says…

Access Care Network Australia provides assessment, coordination and case management services to connect eligible people with supports that build on their strengths.

But don’t let the jargon fool you.

We're in business to change lives.

We do that by helping our clients (and their families) get the support they need to live life their way.

What does it take to do what we do?

3 things. People. People and people.

First, only hire in the words of clients – “amazing beautiful souls” and never, ever, break that rule! Our recruitment process is unashamedly tough (and our training is even tougher!) because what we do at ACNA is a privilege – not an obligation. So, we only hire people when we are absolutely confident they’ve got what it takes to make a difference. Think you do? Then join us!

Something else that is good to know about ACNA – we love all ages and all life stages. If you need a little bit of flexibility and want to be part of a team that bubbles with life experiences, that’s us! If your lived experience is as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person, a person with a disability and/or other lived experiences that add to the richness and diversity of ACNA we would love for you to apply! Just let us know what adjustments we will need to make to our recruitment process to enable you to shine!

What makes us tick?

Simple. We want people to be their best.

But at ACNA this isn’t something we just write on a poster: ‘being our best’ is a way of life. It’s our credo. It’s a life-long personal commitment to be…

Always learning

Always growing

Always sharing
