Everyone at Silverchain, from our care teams to leadership, plays a vital role in delivering Best Care. It’s a team effort. Best Care is care that is safe, personal, connected and effective.

We are proudly one of the few Australian home care providers accredited in both national health and aged care standards. This means the quality of care we provide is expected to meet the same standards as a hospital or residential aged care facility.

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.

“Having worked for Silverchain for 15 year, there has been many changes, but the company values have never changed. SC values provide support for their clients and their staff. As a Therapy Assistant I am supported by a Physiotherapist but independently work with clients to achieve the best outcome to keep them moving safely, strongly and in their homes. Clients can be on a package, with ongoing therapy support or hospital discharge clients with shorter more specific programs for rehabilitation, the variety helps to keep the job interesting, and the clients are very thankful, and the result of our input is rewarding.

I enjoy the comradeship between TAs and PTs as Silverchain has a culture that encourages support of each other and clients”
