Aged Care and in particular, Sunrise Home Care, practice a person-centred care approach. This means that we place our consumers at the centre of the service we deliver, ensuring we cater to their individual needs and wants. The focus is on the person and what they can do, not their condition or disability. Support should focus on achieving the person’s aspirations and be tailored to their needs and unique circumstances, I would love to ensure that all vulnerable or aged people receive this level of care and support.

I work as a Home Care Partner, assisting our older Australians and ensuring that they are receiving the services they require. 

I interact with consumers and family regarding Home Care Packages & Care Services, and I make the consumers feel engaged and supported as their care needs & service requirements increase.

I have worked in a nursing role since I was 17 years old, I have worked in palliative care, hospitals, and dementia specific wards before joining Sunrise in 2018.

During my time at Sunrise, I have built relationships with our consumers and their families as well as the team and companies in which we work with, pharmacies, dietitian ect.

I began my new role as HCP Assistant last year and so far I am loving it, it is a new challenge and I am viewing our consumers’ in  a new light but I am finding it just as rewarding.

The family culture and atmosphere. I can honestly say after working in aged care for 10 years I have never worked in a place quite like Sunrise. It allows me to work in a comfortable & supported environment which I really enjoy. 

I grew up in a small coastal town called Old Bar on the NSW Mid North Coast, I started traveling to and from Newcastle for football from the age of 12.

I then had the opportunity to start a traineeship for my Certificate 3 where I was introduced to Aged Care and fell in love with the industry. 

I have worked in various jobs and positions across the sector.  I have had the pleasure of learning from lots of wonderful and experienced people. 

Kindness. Kindness is about treating others the way you want to be treated.

I have never been much of a reader until the last couple of months, I have just finished reading a book called zero negativity by Ant Middleton who is an ex special forces officer which was a fantastic motivational read.  

Anything that is an adventure, I love exploring and experiencing new things and fishing.
