Salary: Starting from $89,515, plus 11% super, with generous salary packaging benefits of up to $15,899 per year. Our package is at the top level for AN-ACC clinical assessors across Australia. If you love to travel, we would love to tell you more about our approach to vehicles and travel reimbursements.
Yes, this position is for work in Canberra, but we have positions in sites across Australia for our national team. We also encourage OTs and Physios to apply as well as RNs.
We love to welcome team members who need a mix in their career, we can support part-time as well as full-time work patterns.
It’s Bec here, I am one of the senior leaders at ACNA and I am bumping into this advert to tell you why you should join ACNA. Quite simply, our teams are unsurpassed in the way they encourage, collaborate and support people to be their best.
We just finished our series of 2023 national workshops across Australia. This is how we come together to ensure the expertise of every team member is able to contribute to the way we work in ACNA and in the AN-ACC program. Every year I say this, and I am going to say it again…the energy, openness, leadership and belonging was exploding out of the room…yes, we tackle the tough stuff, but we also make sure there is laughter (and a bit of dancing) too!
So, forget other roles you are considering, if you are an RN with experience working with older people for five years at some point in your career and want to be a part of one of our awesome teams, join us at ACNA!
Okay, here is some more info about the role!
Embark on something a little different to your current nursing role. Work in a consulting capacity as an assessor. What might this look like? Here is a typical week.
You are a great communicator, a great clinician and ready to spend your days conducting assessments that represents the voice and needs of an older person.
People will have called you all sort of different names. Authentic. Fun. Genuine. Brilliant. Approachable. A little bit cheeky. Helpful. Caring. Lovely. Relentless.
In your spare time we’re likely to find you daydreaming about new ways to create an impact on people’s lives.
We have a recruitment process full of activities so you can try the role on for size. To help you consider your suitability for these roles, we have included the Position Description and the Minimum Criteria that relates to this project. There are two key aspects of the Minimum Criteria: You need to be a qualified and AHPRA registered RN, (we are also looking for OTs or Physios if you want to send your friends the application form link) and you will have experience in the aged care sector, which could have been at any stage of your career and in any context. Everything else we provide the training for – there is a structured program of learning for your first month with 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 our clients (and their families) get the support they need to live life their way.
3 things. People. People and people.
First, only hire in the words of clients – “amazing beautiful souls” and never, ever, break that rule! Our recruitment process is unashamedly tough (and our training is even tougher!) because what we do at ACNA is a privilege – not an obligation. So, we only hire people when we are absolutely confident they’ve got what it takes to make a difference. Think you do? Then join us!
Something else that is good to know about ACNA – we love all ages and all life stages. If you need a little bit of flexibility and want to be part of a team that bubbles with life experiences, that’s us! If your lived experience is as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person we would love for you to apply!
Last of all, you need to measure success in people, not data points. We’re yet to find a data point that captures the life-changing impact of an assessment that gives a daughter’s 92-year-old father the renewed confidence to live independently. But each and every day we get a front row seat to these amazing client stories that remind us all why we’re here (and the life-changing power of really great assessments!).
With all our focus on people you might get the impression we’re anti-technology. Not at all! But in delivering over 400,000 assessments we’ve found technology comes second to the power of conversation.
Simple. We want people to be their best.
But at ACNA this isn’t something we just write on a poster: ‘being our best’ is a way of life. It’s our credo. It’s a life-long personal commitment to be…
