On Thursday, August 7, Adssi In-home Support will celebrate Aged Care Employee Day, a national day to recognise the skilled, compassionate people who care for older Australians every day.
Across the Central Coast, Adssi’s support workers, drivers, care co-ordinators, and admin teams work together to help clients live safely, independently and with dignity in their own homes.
Their care is personal, often quiet and unsung, but always deeply meaningful.
John Baillie, CEO of ADSSI Limited (the not-for-profit group that includes Adssi In-home Support), said Aged Care Employee Day was an opportunity to acknowledge the life-changing impact of this work.
“Aged Care Employee Day is a chance to say thank you to our incredible workforce,” he said.
“This day is also a reminder of how important it is to support, recognise and value those who care for our ageing population.”
Local Coastie and Adssi Support Worker Mel Atkinson has been working in aged care for 17 years (16 with Adssi) and says she is proud to support people in her community.
“It’s a privilege to be welcomed into someone’s home and to be part of their day,” she said.
“You’re not just helping with tasks, you’re building trust, sharing stories, and helping people feel safe and respected in their own space.”
Adssi In-home Support is part of the ADSSI Limited group of home care brands, a member of Ageing Australia, the national peak body for aged services.
Through this connection, Adssi is committed to promoting the value of the aged care workforce and encouraging more people to explore the sector as a meaningful and rewarding career.
This Aged Care Employee Day, Adssi encourages the community to take a moment to recognise the people behind the care, those who help clients live their best lives with care at home.
