Just Better Care has been named one of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for Women for the second year running.

As Australia’s largest franchised providers of in-home aged care and disability support, our workforce and home care sector is predominantly women. Across our 35 locally owned and operated offices nationwide, women are central to delivering high-quality support to older Australians and people living with disabilities.

This award reinforces our commitment to building a workplace culture where all people feel respected, supported and empowered at every stage of their careers.

Supporting women in home care, nursing and leadership

Women play a vital role in the Australian home care industry. At Just Better Care, they are represented not only in frontline support roles but also as registered nurses, care coordinators, office professionals, franchise partners and senior leaders at the franchisor.

Rebecca Harris, General Manager, People & Culture, said the recognition reflects a deliberate and ongoing focus on inclusion.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognised as a Best Workplace for Women for the second year running. In-home care, women play a vital role in delivering compassionate, high-quality support to older Australians and people living with disability.

We are committed to creating an environment where women feel respected, heard and supported to grow — whether that’s through flexible work arrangements, ongoing training & development or strong local support from our offices.”

This approach aligns with the values that underpin all Just Better Care support services for older Australians and people living with disability.

The same principles that guide how we support our customers also guide how we support our team members.

Building a culture of trust and opportunity

Women across Australia continue to face barriers to leadership progression and equitable career opportunities. Creating strong workplace cultures is essential not only for fairness but for long-term sustainability in the care sector.

At Just Better Care, we focus on:

• Flexible work practices
• Psychological safety and inclusive leadership
• Providing ongoing training & professional development opportunities
• Strong local support within each office
• Representation of women across management and national leadership

Chief Executive Officer Lee Walsh, who joined Just Better Care in January 2026, said the award reflects the strength of our culture as we continue to grow.

“Since joining Just Better Care in January, I’ve been visiting each of our offices across the country and seen first-hand the dedication and professionalism of all our team members. This recognition confirms that, at all levels, we have built a culture grounded in trust, inclusion, and genuine care for our people.

As we continue to expand nationally, we remain focused on ensuring women have meaningful career pathways and leadership opportunities. When our teams thrive, the communities we support benefit.”
