Aged Care Employee Day 7 August

Aged Care Employee Day is 7 August and is an opportunity to celebrate the thousands of dedicated workers, supporting millions of older Australians in aged care, retirement living and seniors housing.

From leaders to those providing hands-on compassionate care or working behind the scenes – volunteers, cleaners, chefs, cooks, maintenance workers, gardeners, and administrators – this day is all about saying – thanks for caring.

The aged care workforce supports older Australians with dignity, compassion, and commitment every single day. Celebrating this workforce means not just appreciation, but action – ensuring they’re seen, heard, and supported now and into the future.

Thank you to all of you working in aged care. We appreciate you for your kindness, resilience, and all the things you do every day. You truly make aged care safer—and better—for everyone.
