Summary

I have had the privilege of working in Tabulam and Templer homes For The Aged from 1999 to 2018. And from 2018 to currently I have been working as a Disability Support Worker.

It has been a great privilege for me to have worked as an aged care worker from 1999 to 2018, in Tabulam Temple homes for the Aged.

I received lot of training and experience in working to provide support and care for the elderly.

I really loved providing care and helping the residents to have a quality of life and be treated with respect and dignity. I also learned that each person I cared for is an unique, so it was important to work with them and their family as a team so the resident or client felt respected and understood and could keep their independence and receive quality care and feel safe at the same time.

I also learned that no two people are the same, so it's important to continue to learn and adapt to suit the client's individual support needs and circumstances.
