At Feros Care we value and respect every individual: team members and clients alike.
We recognise the importance of life experience and are committed to encouraging diversity and inclusion across all of our aged care and disability services.
By fostering a culture that’s rich in diversity, we unlock the full potential of our people and gain benefits such as greater innovation, different ways of thinking, high employee engagement, improved performance and a greater wellbeing for everyone.
This is what makes Feros Care a rewarding place to work.
To uphold our values and remain the leaders of aged care and disability service excellence in our industry, the true nature of diversity must be evident amongst our team and across all levels of our organisation. This means ensuring our people and culture include individuals from different generations, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, backgrounds and various abilities.
Because the best results come from the collaboration of individuals who are unique and special in their own ways.
How does Feros Care demonstrate diversity and inclusion?

- Offering training and coaching to enable managers to feel confident in supporting people with disabilities and from diverse backgrounds and communities.
Our people stories
We’re a colourful bunch at Feros Care and we welcome everyone from all walks of life. Our recruitment doors (and hearts) are open to those who want to make a real difference for people in the community. Our mission is to actively include, welcome, and value the unique contributions of all our team members, encouraging applications from diverse backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, those from cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and people with disability.  Â
Prahb’s episode of SMASHING! celebrates her unique journey and how her culture enriches her work and the lives of those she cares for. It’s another example of how diversity, passion, and personal stories are not just welcomed but celebrated at Feros Care. Prahb, with her engaging personality, her love for food and family, and her commitment to her clients, perfectly embodies the spirit of what makes Feros Care different.
Just as our trailblazing Feros Care team members aren’t your typical aged care workers, 76-year-old Darryl Ferney isn’t your typical aged care client.Â
Boasting an eclectic backstory with a rich tapestry of interesting and downright cool professional and personal highlights, he’s about as vanilla as a rainbow paddle pop. In other words, Darryl obliterates the ‘boring and beige’ stereotype sometimes associated with his age group, and is the personification of an aged care recipient reframing public perception.Â
