About The Role
As a Quality & Improvement Advisor, you will play a key role in ensuring Eldercare continues to deliver safe, high‑quality care and meaningful experiences for residents across our aged care homes.

You will partner with staff and residents to strengthen engagement in quality initiatives and champion a culture where person centred care, continuous improvement, and excellence are at the core of everyday practice.
This is a hands‑on, relationship‑focused role that requires regular travel to Eldercare sites and active participation in resident forums, operational meetings, and compliance activities. You will contribute to quality reporting, support regulatory audits, and collaborate across teams to ensure Eldercare consistently meets - and strives to exceed - industry standards.
