This Aged Care Employee Day, Thursday 7 August, we say a heartfelt to the incredible people who work with dedication, compassion and resilience to support older Australians. From bus driving to intake, from activities to admin, our people are the backbone of our organisation, enriching lives every day with kindness, respect and professionalism.
Thank you for all that you do – not just today, but every day.

📱The Caladenia App
Support for families and friends caring for someone with dementia
🫂Caring for a loved one with dementia can be really hard. It can feel overwhelming, lonely, and confusing - especially when you’re trying to do it all on your own. That’s why we created the Caladenia Dementia Care App.
😊This free app is designed to help family, friends, and neighbours come together and provide the right help, at the right time.
ℹ️ For more information - visit www.caladenia.com.au/caladeniaapp or download on App Store or Google Play Store now.

carers don't need to do it alone. Download the app today
