Personal Care Assistants (PCA) cover for Docklands aged care homes

Looking for an agency PCA in Docklands? We place aged-care-experienced personal care assistants into facilities across Docklands and the wider City of Melbourne, day or night.

Personal Care Assistants deliver most of the hands-on care residents experience every day — hygiene, mobility, meals and companionship. Short PCA shifts directly affect total care minutes and resident wellbeing, so fast, dependable cover is essential.

Of the roughly 2,487 hours of direct care homes in the City of Melbourne must deliver each day, about 1,978 hours are hands-on personal and nursing care — most of it delivered by PCAs.

Support residents with personal care, daily living activities, mobility, wellbeing and maintaining independence. Aspire provides PCAs with proven aged care experience who understand the importance of dignity, respect and meaningful connections with residents.

The City of Melbourne, about 2 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 6 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 694 operational beds. Most requests we see from this part of Melbourne are night shifts, weekend rosters and same-day sick-leave cover — the shifts that are hardest to fill with permanent staff alone.
