We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Just Better Care has been named one of Australia’s Best Workplaces for Women 2025, as recognised by Great Place to Work Australia.

This prestigious recognition celebrates organisations that foster equity, empower women, and create safe, inclusive workplaces where women feel heard, supported, and valued.

In our most recent staff survey, 91% of employees said Just Better Care is a great place to work—a figure that exceeds the national average. That result helped us earn the nationally recognised Great Place to Work accreditation for the second consecutive year.

We’re honoured to receive this national recognition across our network of 35 locally owned offices, which serve communities in rural, regional, and metropolitan Australia, where women are supported to thrive in every role.

Rebecca Harris, General Manager of People & Culture at Just Better Care Australia, reflected on the recognition: "Being named one of Australia’s Best Workplaces for Women is a powerful affirmation of the culture we’ve worked so hard to build. Trust, respect, and empowerment have always been at the heart of our culture—but hearing this directly from our team, especially in a workforce that’s 85% women, makes it even more meaningful. It tells us we’re not just talking about inclusion—we’re living it.”
