A highly rewarding senior role dedicated to implementing the transformative national Elder Care Support program.

The Elder Care Support (ECS) program has been co-designed to not only build the new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ECS workforce but also set a new benchmark in aged care service support across Australia. Through this program, NACCHO is working with the Aboriginal community-controlled sector to ensure older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families are supported to understand, navigate and access aged care services.

The Senior Project Officer, Aged Care Programs is a pivotal role within a dedicated and highly collaborative team working under the direction of the Director and Assistant Director to lead and advance the development and implementation of processes, procedures and tools that support the delivery, monitoring, and evaluation of the Elder Care support program in the ACCHO/ACCO sector.

This role will provide high level support to the program’s Director and Manager Engagement and Training to develop and coordinate a range of events, activities and meetings. Responsibilities also include contributing to reports to government and other stakeholders, and working collaboratively with ACCHOs, Affiliates, peak bodies, and governments to facilitate the collation of feedback to help inform policy and guide the development of additional ECS communication resources, the improvement of training resources and new accredited training pathways. The Senior Project Officer also provides leadership and guidance for Project Officers in the team.

This role offers opportunities for career growth plus a unique opportunity to work on a transformational national program to improve outcomes for older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people navigating and interacting with the aged care system.
