About the Opportunity
The Residential Transitional Aged Care Program offers a personalised therapy and nursing initiative designed for elderly individuals who are transitioning from hospitalisation and can benefit from continued restorative care.

Our dedicated team engages in collaborative discussions with clients, actively involving them in decision making processes concerning their care and ongoing needs.
Throughout the program, all team members conduct regular therapy and weekly case conferences to oversee and coordinate the client's progress, ensuring that interventions remain aligned with their objectives and wellbeing.
