Non Executive Director - Aged Care

We’re Hireup, delivering support as it should be — for the disability and aged care community.

Our story. It started in 2015 with a family and their challenge to find disability support that worked for them. They needed more and knew that people with disability could have greater independence, choice, and control in their lives. As Hireup grew, it became clear that older Australians also faced many of the same challenges in accessing the right support. Today, Hireup is proud to deliver personalised, high-quality support through home care for older Australians, enabling them to live with dignity, independence, and connection to their community.

Support as it should be. We’re Hireup, and we’ve supported thousands of clients and 10,000+ employed support workers across Australia. Since 2015, we’ve facilitated over 100,000 support connections, with 83% of clients reporting a positive impact on their lives. Now, we’re on a mission to ensure that older Australians and their families can access the right support to maintain their independence. We do this by combining innovative digital tools with the reliability of someone to help when it matters most.`

The ask? Our mission sets a new standard for disability support, working in a world of transformation whilst delivering reliable services every day. Authenticity, curiosity and tenacity is a must. Resilience will be key. We will live the ‘power of yes’ and push for the best (we might not always get it right!) but we’ll work together to tackle opportunities, hold each other up and be there in the moments that matter to you and our community.
