ABOUT

Humans of Aged Care

Humans of Aged Care is a storytelling platform to celebrate and demonstrate the human elements at the heart of aged care in Australia.

Created and championed by Aged and Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA), the industry’s leading peak body, Humans of Aged Care aims to provide balance into the public portrayal of the aged care industry by highlighting all the positive aspects of this rewarding sector.

Through this platform, we hope to acknowledge and applaud the industry’s dedicated individuals, and share the positive stories in aged care that rarely get told.

Anyone can get involved. A Human of Aged Care can be someone delivering care as a care worker or anyone that works in an aged care facility (such as a cook, cleaner, administrator, or manager), an unpaid carer or volunteer, or resident receiving care and their family members who are passionate about ensuring their loved ones continue to live happy, fulfilled lives. 

We encourage you to nominate a person you know who deserves to be acknowledged as a Human of Aged Care so we can share their inspiring stories more broadly.
