Delivering high-quality home support and care has never been more important or in demand.

Increasingly, Australians choose to receive care services in their own homes, which keep them connected to the community, friends, and family they love.

Five Good Friends is committed to ensuring Australians have this choice. To do this, we need exceptional people willing and able to deliver high quality, compassionate care.

It takes a special kind of person to provide support. At Five Good Friends, we call these fantastic, caring individuals Helpers, and they are at the very heart of everything we do.

We wrap our arms around Helpers!

There has never been a better time to join the home care sector. When you join, we want you to have a great experience, feel supported, and succeed in achieving your goals.

Five Good Friends has developed a dedicated programme and team to support carers joining the platform.

We want to create a place where people love what they do, feel valued, supported and in control. It needs to be just as magical for our Helpers as for those receiving support in their homes.

At Five Good Friends, we want to show you our magic so that you can bring yours!

Training Facilitator

Upskilling and training are crucial for anyone delivering home care and support. Training Facilitators ensure Helpers have a clear training pathway and opportunities to learn and grow.

We know Helpers come with a range of prior learnings, skills, care and other industries. Training Facilitators can work with you to have that skill formally recognised.

Training Facilitators provide learning activities in person, online and within a Member’s home to ensure Helpers can always meet the needs of our Members and their next business goal.

Helper Coordinators

Long term Helpers and Member matches are the glue that holds our network together. The connection between Members and their Helpers makes the magic happens. We know how important it is to get the match just right.

Our Helper Coordinators support Members and Helpers to connect and find the perfect long-term match. When sending you opportunities for matches, they will consider your preferences, proximity to the Member, rates, availability, interests, skills and experience to make ongoing, recurring schedules and connections.

Rostering and Oncall Coordinators

Working collaboratively with the Helper Coordinators, the Rostering and on-call Coordinators are our firefighters who ensure that every visit is delivered.

This could include contacting Helpers to see if that can cover any emergency, short-term, or one-off visits. If you want to be sent through these opportunities more frequently, please open up your availabilities and turn on notifications in the app.
