Staffing Philosophy

The philosophy of Boandik acknowledges the value of every individual. This is the core of the culture of our organisation and applies to residents, clients, staff, volunteers and all stakeholders.

Our expectation of staff is that they will embrace this culture and work as a team to ensure that all clients have a genuine opportunity to live a meaningful life whether in their home or a residential facility.

We provide a flexible and inclusive workplace where the contribution of every person is appreciated and acknowledged.
