Kay's story

Since joining Australian Home Care, 24-year-old Kay Bardsley has enjoyed a challenging and satisfying career path with the organisation, fulfilling her personal desire to work with people with disabilities.

As a young girl growing up with a brother with a disability, Kay has fond memories of the Support Workers who helped her brother and herself as children and says they were fantastic. “I really enjoyed the carers that my brother had when I was younger and that has motivated me to help others.”

Kay first worked part time at Australian Home Care as a receptionist, then later as a Support Worker for 12 months, helping a small number of Care recipients with complex disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis and Muscular Dystrophy.

Kay then had her first taste of working as a coordinator when she filled in for someone on long service leave for eight weeks; she later applied for and was accepted into a full time Service Coordination role.

Kay balances the service requirements of approximately 110 clients with a combination of domestic assistance, low care and complex care needs with the resources of 90 Support Workers in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. It’s a demanding role but one Kay loves. She sees her future working with people with disabilities and developing her career within Australian Home Care.
