Q1: What inspired you to become a carer in aged care?
A: My dad inspired me. He had Parkinson's Disease, and my mum struggled as his carer because she didn’t know what type of help was available. The more I looked into it, the more I realised this is what I wanted to do – I wanted to help people.

Q2: What does a typical day look like when you are on shift?
A: My shifts usually consist of domestic cleaning, social support, and even meal preparation.

I really enjoy cleaning. Clients often tell me what they struggle to do around the house, and they appreciate it so much when I help with chores they can no longer manage.

I also love taking clients out for social support. I have great knowledge of supermarkets and their products because I worked in a supermarket for 17 years before becoming a carer. Clients find this really helpful, especially when they are looking for an item but don’t know the name or where to find it. Chatting while shopping, going out for coffee, or enjoying lunch together is a wonderful way to get to know each other.

Meal preps are educational for me too. I’m not the world’s greatest cook, but thanks to my clients, I now know how to use a pressure cooker and a Thermomix!

Q3: How does working for RLC feel different to other places you’ve worked?
A: I don’t feel like a number here. If I need to call in sick because my kids are unwell or I’m unwell, I never get a guilt trip or made to feel bad. Everyone is kind and understanding.

I also feel like I’m truly listened to and that my input matters. I’ve been with RLC for two years now, and it’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. The staff are great, and all my clients are amazing!

We truly appreciate having you, Julie, as part of the Rose Life Care team. Our clients are blessed to have you, and so are we. Thank you for being you!

🌷"Home Is Where the Care Is"🌷

Carer Spotlight – Laura

Laura started in the industry by chance. Her mother-in-law, a carer herself, told Laura she’d be great at it. Rose Life Care was the only place Laura applied – and it turned out to be one of her favourite jobs. She never expected to end up in this field.

Laura says you really have to push yourself to build relationships and a strong reputation with both clients and colleagues.

When people hear you're a carer, they often expect the worst – intense work and aggressive clients. But Laura says the reality is different: it’s about connection and building trust.

She loves how the “oldies” never lose their personality – “They just get cheekier!” Most people assume older clients are isolated, but Laura says they're often “booked and busy” with their own people and activities.

One of Laura’s most meaningful experiences was supporting a high-dementia client who didn’t remember her name but always thought they were close friends. The client’s family appreciated the bond and built a strong relationship with Laura.

Clients are always happy to see Laura return from leave, often asking if she’s safe and happy too – something she finds incredibly meaningful.

Through this work, Laura says she discovered a whole new level of patience – in the best way. She's also learned how important it is for some clients to simply pass on their wisdom and life experiences.

Her advice? Practice professional boundaries – even if you learn the hard way. The job is mentally, physically, and emotionally tough, but Laura finds it so rewarding.
