As a not-for-profit organisation, we re-invest our funds into research and developing innovative models of care to set the industry benchmark for the provision of the best care in the home.

 We'll also provide you with opportunities to help you develop and grow in your career, with training and education programs to help you achieve your goals.

“Silverchain were very supportive with my onboarding – a clear orientation plan and buddy visits to help me understand the role. Being in community aged care allows me to be on the road, have autonomy with my daily calendar, seeing clients in different programs and being out and about.

Work life balance is great. Being able to work from home or in the office gives me the flexibility as needed. Most of all, the clients are fun to work with and I have learnt so many clinical and non-clinical skills about being an OT”
