Why Aequra?
Family Business
One of our foundations and a key differentiator is that we place significant value on the people in our teams and treat them like our extended family. We treat them as we would expect them to treat our loved residents and clients – with respect, kindness and empathy.
Career Growth
As our businesses grow, we are committed to the growth of our people and offer a variety of paths for career progression. We invest in learning and have systems where courses you complete with us can give you credits for learning outside the organisation.
Cultural Diversity
Become a part of a team where you will be valued and respected for the individual you are. Bring your authentic self to work every day. We are accredited in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) workplaces where everyone is welcome!
Access to Leadership
As we grow and develop as a company, we continue to value and embrace the ethos of a small business where our leaders get involved and are approachable to every level of our teams.
Make a Difference
Bring out your best in a supportive, inclusive team environment revolving around a ‘Culture of Care’ that enables lives.
Award Winning Culture
We are only as good as our teams who take care of our residents and clients. We believe team members who are respected and nurtured will treat those in our care the same way. It is this philosophy that led to us being awarded HRD’s 5 Star Employer of Choice in 2026 – an award allocated to 72 companies across Australia and New Zealand. Our connection with the communities we serve provides great opportunity to give back. We should be kind, enthusiastic and show up with authenticity. With these principles, we are an employer of choice!
Clinical Placements
Ongoing education for our clinical care team is delivered by a full-time Senior Nurse Educator and external educators. Aequra fully supports Registered Nurses in their further professional development and has a robust collection of courses – both mandatory and elective through our Ausmed platform.
We place strong emphasis on staff autonomy. Our senior team members have full responsibility for managing their own departments, and supported by the experienced Residential Managers, and senior subject matter experts in our Head Office. Aequra only employs staff according to assessed resident needs. Carers must have a minimum Certificate III and hold a Certificate IV level of competency.
We offer clinical placements for a number of colleges:
- Nursing students – University of Western Sydney
- Certificate III and IV – Roos College & Ready Health Nursing College
- Leisure & Lifestyle – AMES, TAFE NSW
Additionally, we offer placements for nursing students from several other universities and colleges and have built a strong reputation for emerging nurses seeing Aequra as a robust learning environment.
Individualised Programs
Your career at Aequra will be nurtured through an individualised program that includes ongoing education, training, coaching and useful feedback. A culture of care lies at the heart of what we do.
Over the years we have built a work environment that enables all team members to continuously develop their skills into their chosen career path across clinical, administrative, managerial, catering and maintenance.
