Aged care workers in Perth
Residential and in-home support for older people. Residential facilities run fixed rosters, which suits workers who want predictable hours rather than scattered community shifts.
What it pays
SCHADS Level 2 starts at $36.22 an hour. (SCHADS Level 2 minimum, from 1 July 2026.) Casual loading, and weekend, night and public holiday penalties, are paid on top.
