An aged care Residence Manager (RM) oversees day-to-day operations, including managing staff and budgets, regulatory compliance, and building relationships.
Running an aged care residence requires strong leadership skills, excellent communication skills, and a deep commitment to the wellbeing of residents. It can be a complex and demanding role, but it can also be incredibly rewarding to see the positive difference made in the lives of older people and their families.

Maintaining high standards of care
RMs ensure the residence provides high-quality care and support to residents, and that staff are trained and equipped to provide the best possible care.
Building relationships with residents and their families
