It’s time for aged care workers around the country to strike a pose, because Ageing Australia wants to showcase photographs of the best in our sector. 

So many people contribute in such positive and amazing ways to the care of older Australians that Ageing Australia is holding a Humans of Aged Care photo competition.

This year’s theme, Small moments, Big impact, celebrates the everyday moments in the aged care sector – and the extraordinary range of people who choose this varied, challenging but rewarding career.

“Behind every resident, every home, every community program, there’s a person who chose to be there: a nurse, a personal care worker, a chef, a gardener, a diversional therapist, a volunteer, a physio, a driver, a hairdresser, to name but a few” said Ageing Australia CEO Tom Symondson. “The Humans of Aged Care contest is about putting a face – and a moment – to that career.”

Cash prizes will be awarded to winning organisations to put towards a staff development initiative of their choice. First prize is $2,500, second prize is $1,000 and a people’s choice prize winner will also be awarded $1,000.

Entries are open now. You can find out more details on how to enter here. Entries close on the 16th October, and the winning photos will be displayed at Ageing Australia’s National Conference in Sydney in November, our digital gallery and on our social media channels.
