The benefits | Recognising the difference you make      

  • Part time position | 16 hours per week, shifts on Thursday & Friday
  • Hourly rate: $34.10 + Superannuation and NFP salary packaging (pay up to $18,550 less tax per year, meaning more money for you!)
  • A fantastic on-boarding program to set you up for success, ongoing support and mentoring from clinical educators
  • Subsidised access to your local gym and 200+ more across the country with a Fitness Passport
  • 24/7 access to mental, physical, social, and financial support via the LifeWorks app

The requirements | What it takes to do this work

No matter your role, it takes a real love of caring, a willingness to jump in and do the work, and a genuine desire to make a difference. As a Physiotherapist Assistant, you’ll also need:

  • A Certificate III in Allied Health or working towards Diploma in Physiotherapy/Occupational Therapy
  • Demonstrated planning and organisation skills
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills

What our carers love about working here                           

Feeling safe and supported: We’ve built a highly supportive, close-knit community that values and respects each other. Find approachable, empathetic leaders intent on listening to your ideas; and processes, policies and resources that allow you to do your job well. You’ll have the support you need to provide exceptional care, without feeling overwhelmed. Here we have each other’s back – no matter what.

One team, united in our purpose: We support older people to have great lives. We put older people first in everything we do. On an everyday level, we help them age with dignity, independence, happiness, and connectedness. On a big picture level, we’re challenging ageist thinking in Australia.

Who we are | A community who cares

Warrigal has firmly established itself in the aged care community for over 60 years. We’re proud of the diverse range of retirement living and aged care services we’ve built up in that time, but we still have the same appetite to grow and innovate. Meaning, you’ll have the chance to move around, get promoted or explore different areas across our expanding business in Illawarra, Southern Highlands, Queanbeyan, and Canberra – if that’s what you want.

Create a meaningful legacy

At Warrigal, you’re not just doing care work. You’re shaping a society that respects and celebrates ageing, connects families, and frees up their time to create treasured, lasting memories. You’re creating a culture of kindness, compassion and understanding, that can be passed down to future generations. Let this be your legacy.
