The Home Care Worker, Cunnamulla and Thargomindah Western Qld, provide a basic support service for Home Care client's in their homes with Commonwealth Home Support Programme Guidelines.
The Home Care Service assists with basic household domestic tasks. These tasks may include:

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care support in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.
If you are looking for a sea change, you might find your home away from home in the outback town of Cunnamulla. Surfing the sand dunes, relaxing in the artesian springs nearby, having a mudbath at Eulo, exploring national parks and fishing the Warrego river are all on the agenda in this red dirt outback escape.
Thargomindah is situated along the Adventure Way, and lies on the banks of the Bulloo River approximately 1,000 kilometres west of Brisbane. Thargomindah Community Clinic is a place where you can embrace the challenge and autonomy of working remotely.
