Our People
At Feros Care, we are promoting the co-design movement within the disability services sector. Through intentional engagements Feros Care is continually working with our community to help us better identify, design, and implement projects that are driven by people with disability for people with disability.
When you think of “tech geniuses”, the aged care sector may not be the first that springs to mind. And you’d probably picture a man at the helm. Meet Georgie, tech wizard at Feros Care in Byron Bay, who’s smashing through these stereotypes like a wrecking ball. This isn’t just another anecdote of a woman […]
In a heartening story from the front lines of aged care, Tony Gillespie’s transition from a seasoned contractor to an impassioned carer flips the usual mid-life script. Tony’s journey is representative of Feros Care’s mission to overturn aged care stereotypes and shows how it’s never too late to embark on a meaningful second (or third) career. His story is now showing as part of the SMASHING! documentary series, and we guarantee it’s one you won’t want to miss.
When you meet Hazel, you quickly realize she’s someone special. For two decades, Hazel has been an endearing part of our Wommin Bay Village community, volunteering her time and energy despite overwhelming health challenges. Her story is not just about what she’s overcome, but how she’s used her experiences to help others. The start […]
At Feros Care, we are committed to smashing stereotypes around people with disability and employment. As part of our documentary series SMASHING! we are shining a light on Cate Williams, one of our Customer Acquisition and Retention Experts, who has turned her disability challenges into her strengths, enriching not only her own life but also those of her clients.
As Wommin Bay Village’s Lifestyle Coordinator, Crystal spends her days planning fun, interactive, and ‘outside the box’ activities for the residents. The joy she gets from seeing their big happy smiles is her greatest reward.
In the world of job hunting, there’s something special about finding a place that really gets you. Feros Care is not just another employer. We’re a community of dream makers and kindness warriors, each bringing our own special flair to the table. Our culture is all about cheering each other on, every step of the […]
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.
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.
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.
Softly spoken, sweet-natured, and truly dedicated to her work, it’s undeniable that Deepa Shrestha is an asset to the residents and her colleagues at Feros Care’s Wommin Bay Residential Village.
Her story from arriving in Australia in 2017 with no formal qualifications to becoming Clinical Manager at Wommin Bay is an inspiring one. Fostering special connections with the residents who have become like family, Deepa personifies why Wommin Bay is a haven for happy, holistic, and bold ageing.
Not many people can say they’ve ‘worked’ with the same person for over 15 years, but Marion Fleming can. And what’s more, she’s never looked back.
A respected and popular Feros Care Community Support Worker, Marion spends her days doing what she loves; helping aged care clients, including the unstoppable Daisy. 95 years young, full of life, and as sharp as a tack, it’s not hard to see how this lovable ‘pocket rocket’ has inspired Marion to stick around for a decade and a half.
