Quality & Risk Advisor | Support at Home | Aged Care
* Permanent Part-Time (3 or 4 days)
* Perth based (1 day WFH if 4 days)
* Flexible start / finish times to accommodate family commitments
* A Rare Opportunity to Build Something From Scratch
A New Era in Aged Care
It's December 2025. The Aged Care Act 2024 just dropped on November 1st. Support at Home replaced HCP. The Strengthened Standards are live.
My client is a medium-sized Support at Home provider who's just built a clinical nursing team in-house. They're rolling out allied health next year and need someone to architect the quality and risk framework for this new era.
What Makes This Unique
* You're not walking into chaos. The backlog is gone. Policies are aligned and ready. Instead of fixing someone else's mess, you're building the next evolution.
* You get to create, not comply. They're engaging an aged care consultant to conduct a full compliance audit over the next three months. You'll work alongside them to develop the gap analysis and action plan, then you'll be the driver implementing it through 2026.
* You're joining at the perfect time. Clinical services are being brought in-house right now. Nursing is live. Allied health starts early 2026. You'll be embedding clinical governance as services scale, not retrofitting it later.
* The board actually cares about what you do. Not micromanagement but genuine value. You'll have visibility and support at the highest level.
What Makes You Unique
Essential:
* Demonstrated experience in aged care quality, risk, and compliance
* Deep understanding of the Aged Care Act 2024, Support at Home Program, and Strengthened Standards
* Ability to lead, not just assist with, policy development, audit programs, and compliance projects
* Exceptional communication skills (you'll be advising everyone from support workers to the CEO to the Board)
* Self‑motivated and able to work autonomously
* Full working rights in Australia
* Willing to work a minimum 3 days a week in the office.
Highly desirable (but not a dealbreaker):
* Clinical background (RN, AH) or clinical governance experience
* Home care sector experience (though residential aged care folks with the right mindset are absolutely welcome)
Why You Want This Job
* Culture that isn't BS. Tight executive team, 17.5% leave loading, salary packaging, flexible start/finish times.
* No pretending to be Google. Good people doing meaningful work.
* Tech that doesn't make you want to scream. Proper ICT infrastructure, proactive digital maturity.
* You'll be respected. Strategic priority, risk flagged taken seriously.
* The work matters. Over 100 staff, 15% growth per year, scaling thoughtfully.
The Hard Truths
* This isn't a cruisy job. Sector in controlled disruption.
* You can't phone it in. Statutory duties, CEO and Board personally liable.
* It's part‑time. Three or four days. Work‑life balance with meaningful work.
