About Us

At MacDonnell Regional Council (MRC), we're proud to call the heart of Australia our home. Spanning a breathtaking 270,000 square kilometres, our region is a land of contrast and beauty—think serene waterholes, vibrant desert sands, rugged mountain ranges, and an abundance of unique flora and fauna.

The role could potentially offer a balance of being town-based, with approximately 60-70% of your time spent working in the community or, community based where community-based housing would be provided non-local applicants—giving you a chance to connect with the people and places that make this region so special.

To succeed in this role, you'll need:

• Coordinate aged care services across assigned council locations, ensuring service continuity, continuous improvement and legislative compliance.
• Ensure the service is delivered in a culturally appropriate manner, in line with community development principles, committing to the continual development of corporate knowledge.
• Develop and maintain partnerships with staff, clients, families, and health professionals to identify client needs and make recommendations within a consumer directed care model of service delivery.
• Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is adaptable, collaborative, and passionate about making a difference.
