Make a tangible difference—fast

We are seeking a seasoned Social Worker or Aged Care Specialist to partner with our General Manager to ensure our retired Brothers access the maximum supports available through My Aged Care - quickly and smoothly. If you know the system inside-out and love cutting through delays to deliver real outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do

Audit current supports for each Brother and identify gaps, entitlements and upgrade opportunities (HCP levels, CHSP, STRC, residential options, respite, supplements as applicable).

Fast-track My Aged Care: make/triage referrals, coordinate ACAT/RAS assessments, pursue priority reviews, manage waitlists, and secure interim services.

Build individual care plans and coordinate providers (home care, allied health, clinical services), including service changes and package upgrades.

Navigate the My Aged Care Portal on behalf of the person (representative arrangements), handle documentation, consents, and correspondence.

Work closely with GPs, assessors, hospitals, and providers to resolve blockers and expedite starts.

Provide clear reporting on progress, risks, and outcomes to leadership.

Travel to visit Brothers as needed (primarily NSW/VIC/QLD).

What you’ll bring

Significant, hands-on experience with My Aged Care, including ACAT/RAS processes, HCP activation/upgrade pathways, CHSP bridging, and provider onboarding.

Tertiary qualifications in Social Work, Nursing, Allied Health, Gerontology, or similar.

Demonstrated success accelerating access to services and optimising entitlements for older Australians.

Skilled case coordination, advocacy, and stakeholder management (clinicians, assessors, providers, families).

High professional standards: confidentiality, dignity, cultural and faith awareness; trauma-informed practice.

Strong documentation/reporting skills; comfort working autonomously and to deadlines.

Current driver’s licence; ability to travel.

National Police Check (or willingness to obtain) and current influenza/COVID-19 vaccination status suitable for visiting aged care settings.

Full Australian working rights.

Why join us?

Mission-driven work with immediate impact for a respected Catholic religious order.

Senior sponsorship and quick decision-making - get things done without red tape.

Competitive salary arrangement, commensurate with experience.

Initial 6-month engagement with a clear path to extension based on outcomes.
