Aged Care & Residential Services

When a shift needs filling in a residential aged care setting, residents feel the difference immediately – familiar faces, consistent routines and genuine continuity of care matter as much as clinical competence. Chris Barnard Health supports aged care facilities and residential living providers with both permanent and temporary workforce solutions, so your residents receive consistent, high-quality care and your facility keeps running smoothly, no matter the pressure.

Our recruitment and brokerage services are built to support aged care and residential living providers across a wide range of settings, including: 

• Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs), covering everyday staffing needs through to complex clinical care requirements 

• Retirement and assisted living communities, supporting residents who need varying levels of independence and care 

• Palliative, respite, and dementia-specific care units, where specialised training and a genuinely person-centred approach are essential 

Whether you need a single shift covered at short notice or ongoing staffing support across your entire facility, our team is equipped to respond quickly and appropriately to the specific demands of residential aged care. 

We recruit and place a broad range of professionals into aged care and residential living settings, including: 

• Facility Managers 

• Clinical Care Coordinators 

• Registered Nurses (RNs) 

• Enrolled Nurses (ENs) 

• Personal Care Workers (PCWs) 

• Lifestyle Coordinators 

• Hospitality staff 

Every professional we place is matched not only on qualification, but on genuine suitability for the specific facility, resident community, and pace of the environment they’re stepping into. 

A Workforce Built for Residential Aged Care  

Residential aged care demands a different rhythm to acute or clinical settings – one built around routine, familiarity, and relationship. Our care staff are experienced in residential environments and are selected specifically for their ability to integrate quickly into existing facility teams, build rapport with residents, and respect the pace and culture of the home they’re joining. 

Matched, Not Just Filled  

Our allocations team doesn’t simply find a person to cover a shift – they find the right person, professionally skilled and genuinely suited to your facility, whether that’s general residential care, a dementia-specific unit, or a palliative care setting. The right fit matters just as much in a residential home as it does anywhere else in aged care. 

Fast, Responsive Allocations  

We understand that a gap in a facility roster affects real people, not just a schedule. Our allocations team is on standby to respond quickly to urgent requests, working to fill critical shifts without compromising on the quality or suitability of the professional placed. 

Consistency and Continuity  

Wherever possible, we prioritise supplying the same trusted professionals to facilities we work with regularly, reducing onboarding time and helping residents build genuine familiarity with the faces caring for them, visit after visit, shift after shift. 

Aged care doesn’t exist in isolation, and neither does our staffing support. From residents who need only occasional assistance in a retirement community, through to those requiring dementia-specific or palliative care, we supply qualified professionals across every stage of the residential care journey. This continuity of qualified staffing across care levels helps support better outcomes, greater dignity, and smoother transitions for residents as their needs change over time. 

Every professional supplied by Chris Barnard Health undergoes thorough screening, including background checks, reference checks, and credential verification, before being placed into any aged care or residential setting. We maintain rigorous clinical governance standards and are committed to transparency, safety, and continuous improvement across every placement we make.
