Just Better Care has been recognised as a Great Place to Work® for the third time, with certification now running through to May 2027. The result draws on confidential feedback from 540 team members across the national network, and points to a culture grounded in fairness, welcome and pride in the work.The Great Place To Work® Accreditation is based on confidential, independent feedback from team members across the national network of Just Better Care offices: the people who deliver in-home aged care and disability support to thousands of Australians every week.
This atest accreditation runs from May 2026 through May 2027 and follows previous certifications in 2024 and 2025.
of Just Better Care team members agree this is a great place to work.
Based on 540 responses to the May 2026 Great Place to Work® Trust Index© survey.
How does Great Place to Work® certification work?
Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture. Certification is awarded after team members complete an independent, confidential Trust Index© survey covering the three pillars of a great workplace: trust, pride and camaraderie.
The May 2026 survey ran for three weeks (17 April to 8 May) and asked Just Better Care team members across our national network to respond to 60 statements about life inside the organisation.
The certification threshold must be met again every year. There is no carry-over from one cycle to the next, which is part of why repeating the result matters.
The three pillars of a great workplace
The Great Place to Work® model measures three relationships: with leaders, with the work itself, and with the team. Here is how Just Better Care scored across each in May 2026.
of our team members agree that the relationship between team members and leaders is built through credibility, respect and fairness.
of our team members agree that the relationship between team members and their work, the sense that what we do matters.
of our team members agree that the relationship between team members and each other, the collaboration, support and connection within teams.
Where does the Just Better Care culture shine in 2026?
Across all 60 statements in the May 2026 survey, the five statements that scored highest tell a clear story. One about fairness, welcome, and the contribution Just Better Care makes to the wider community.
| “People here are treated fairly regardless of their sexual orientation.” | 95% |
| “People here are treated fairly regardless of their gender.” | 95% |
| “People here are treated fairly regardless of their race.” | 94% |
| “When you join the company, you are made to feel welcome.” | 94% |
| “I feel good about the ways in which we contribute to the community.” | 94% |
For an organisation whose work is the daily care of older Australians and people living with disabilities, those answers feel exactly like the ones we would want to see at the top of the list.
Why do three consecutive years of recognition matter?
First-time recognition is a snapshot. Sustaining a trend over three consecutive years is a strong indicator of performance and is challenge to maintain consistently.
Operating conditions across the in-home aged care and disability support sector have shifted significantly since the first Just Better Care certification in 2024, with new regulatory reforms and the introduction of Support at Home. Achieving this result during periods of significant change is what makes the 2026 recognition meaningful.
Award-winning culture across our network
Just Better Care is delivered through a network of independently owned Just Better Care offices. The 2026 certification reflects feedback from team members across the nation, not just from any single office. This comprehensive feedback is tracked in continuous improvements throughout the year as we strive to create a great place to work for all our team members!
