15.01.2022 We are hiring for another advocate to join our dynamic team in Victoria Park. Advocates provide advocacy and information to older people to assist them to understand their rights and to have them respected. Advocates also engage with aged and home care staff, professionals in the health sector, and community groups to raise awareness of the rights of older people and the issue of elder abuse. Some regional travel is required. If you, or someone you know may be interested we... want to hear from you!
