Pros
After spending over 30 years in Media, Advertising, and Sales, I took time following my last role to explore new career paths where my leadership experience could make a meaningful impact. I’ve always believed that with the right mindset and transferable skills, you can successfully transition into new industries—and aged care is one that truly stood out.
The aged care sector is vast and full of opportunity, encompassing Residential Care, Home Care, and Retirement Living. What drew me in was not just the scale of the industry, but the chance to connect with people on a deeper level. My life experience has helped me relate to both our team members and, more importantly, our Retirement Living residents. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a community that supports seniors in living their best lives.
This isn’t just a space for seasoned professionals—it’s also a fantastic entry point for those starting their careers. Once you step into aged care, you discover a whole new world of purpose-driven work and personal growth.
As our population ages and life expectancy increases, it’s more important than ever to have the right people and infrastructure in place. At RSL LifeCare, we’re guided by our purpose, values, and as a not-for-profit, we offer team members access to salary packaging benefits that make a real difference.

Cons
Can be difficult to switch off when you care so much about what you are doing and for whom.
