Sound interesting?

If you have experience as an assessor in community services and love being busy, consider joining Access Care Network Australia (ACNA), a forward-thinking and innovative not-for-profit.

We want to ensure you are a great fit for ACNA, and are looking for people that align with our values of supporting people to be their best and always striving to learn, improve and grow. Hiring people whose values align with ours enables us to build awesome teams who create the best outcomes for our clients.

Before starting work with us, as part of the compliance process, you will need to undertake a national police check, complete a pre-placement health questionnaire, and undergo reference checks, provide evidence of your current driver’s licence, COVID-19 and Influenza vaccinations, and have a clearance to work with children/vulnerable people in some cases.

About ACNA

Our charter says…

Access Care Network Australia provides assessment, coordination and case management services to connect eligible people with supports that build on their strengths.

But don't let the jargon fool you.

We're in business to change lives.

We do that by helping clients (and their families) get the support they need to live life their way.

What does it take to do what we do?

3 things. People. People and people.

We hire only in the words of clients – “amazing beautiful souls” and never break that rule! We hire when we are confident people have what it takes to make a difference. Our recruitment process is unashamedly tough (and our training is even tougher!) because what we do at ACNA is a privilege – not an obligation. Think that's you? Then join us!

We can only achieve when our teams are truly reflective of the diverse communities we serve. The more diverse and inclusive our teams, the better we are at serving people from every background. We love all ages and life stages. If you need a little flexibility and want to be part of a team that bubbles with life experiences, that’s us!

We measure success in people, not data points. Data points don’t capture the life-changing impact of an assessment that gives a daughter’s 92-year-old father the renewed confidence to live independently. We get a front row seat to these amazing client stories that remind us why we’re here (and the life-changing power of really great assessments!) .

What makes us tick?

Simple. We want people to be their best.

This isn’t something we just write on a poster: ‘being our best’ is our way of life. It’s a life-long personal commitment to be…

Always learning

Always growing

Always sharing

We could insert a spiel here demonstrating what a great organisation we are to work for, but instead we invite you to listen to stories from our team in our Podcast.

Sure, we work hard and have contractual KPIs to meet, but we also want you to have a great work experience with ACNA and leave us better off than when you arrived through the provision of great learning opportunities and clear connection to the senior leadership team.
