Ideally candidates will have some previous experience (or transferrable skills), but this is not always necessary.

In most offices a Certificate III or Certificate IV in aged and community care or equivalent is desirable. In some franchise offices these qualifications will be essential.

Having your own motor vehicle (or access to a car) and flexible availability is a requirement.
