What can I expect from an aged care contract role?
Contract roles are a type of casual work, undertaken as block bookings. They vary in length,
usually from 4 - 12 weeks and usually are in areas there is a lack of staff readily available i.e.
in regional and remote areas of the country.
With these roles, you will get your accommodation and travel provided (usually flights, so these

At the end of the contract, you can choose to extend your stay or move location. With all of
your travel and accommodation expenses covered, you can effectively travel the country whilst getting paid!
We offer this type of work in every state of Australia. Depending on the homes needs, you may be able
to travel with your friend, family or partner if they work in aged care too.
Pay rates are under the casual award and are dependent on experience. You may be eligible for bonuses,
incentives and referral schemes too!
