Rozina is Residential Service Manager at Yaralla Place. Qualifying as a Registered Nurse in Fiji, she moved to Hervey Bay in 2004. She’s worked in the aged care sector for almost two decades, and previously lead PresCare Maryborough’s Clinical Care Team.
Why did you choose aged care as your career path?
When I lived in Fiji, there was no aged care, so when I moved here, I was attracted to this type of Nursing because it was new and different. I’ve always loved how interesting and varied aged care is compared to Nursing in the hospital setting.
How do you support your team to provide the best possible care to residents?
I take a very hands-on approach to make sure each member of our team feels closely supported in their role. I believe in consistent and open communication, and in empowering my team to make the right decisions that enhance the emotional and clinical well-being of residents.
How would you describe the culture of care here?
People come together to help each other every day. Every member of our team is respectful, puts residents first, and goes above and beyond to make sure residents are supported to live their best lives.
What would you say to others considering a career in aged care?
It’s very rewarding getting to know these amazing residents and their families. It means a lot to know you’re making a difference in their lives. It’s also rewarding to be able to develop skills across such a wide spectrum of care provision, and to have the support to continue upskilling and growing through mentorship and training.
