Aged Care Employee Day is an official day to thank, honour, recognise and celebrate the hundreds of thousands of people who work in the age services industry across Australia. The day is designed to celebrate each and every team member involved in the journey of caring for people who receive age services - from the nurses and care workers, to the cooks and hospitality teams, to the drivers, cleaners and laundry employees, to the volunteers, to the leisure and lifestyle officers and administration teams. Aged Care Employee Day aims to put these people in the spotlight, celebrate them, and provide an opportunity to thank them for the work they do and their care for our loved ones.
