Early Careers at HammondCare

Kickstart your career with a placement that has real purpose.

At HammondCare, you’ll do more than build skills—you’ll contribute to care that truly matters. Our placements are designed to give you meaningful, hands-on experience in environments where compassion, dignity, and innovation come together to make a real difference in people’s lives.

What is the HammondCare difference?

Hospital-based care services

Gain experience in specialised services such as palliative care, rehabilitation, and older persons’ mental health. These placements offer exposure to high-acuity environments and multidisciplinary teams.

Complex dementia care

HammondCare is a recognised leader in dementia support, offering placements in settings that care for people with advanced and complex needs. You’ll learn how to deliver compassionate, person-centred care in challenging and rewarding environments.

Evidence-based practice

Our care is grounded in research from Hammond Innovations. You’ll be placed in an organisation that’s shaping the future of aged care through innovation, education, and continuous improvement.

Cottage model of residential care

Our unique approach creates small, home-like environments where residents live with dignity and autonomy. You’ll see first hand how this model fosters deeper relationships and better outcomes.
