Aspire supplies personal care assistants to residential aged care homes in Essendon 3040 for planned rosters, leave cover and same-day requests.

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 4,863 hours of direct care homes in the City of Moonee Valley must deliver each day, about 3,867 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 Moonee Valley, about 8 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 17 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,357 operational beds, including 3 in Essendon itself. Homes in the area lean on agency cover for the same pressures seen across Victoria: keeping a Registered Nurse on site around the clock, hitting funded care-minute targets and filling sick calls before the shift starts.
