Mark & Sylvie's Home Care

17/06/2026

Ever seen an operations manager look at a row of numbers on a screen and completely forget there is a living, breathing elderly person at the other end of that data? It happens all the time in home care now. The corporate machine takes over, and suddenly leadership is reduced to squeezing blood from a stone.

We don't play that game here.

At Mark & Sylvie’s and Atticus Health, we see operations a bit differently. To us, managing the day-to-day is about building a fortress around our carers so they can do what they do best, look after our neighbours.

As a GP in our clinic, I know the absolute gold a great Operations Manager brings. You are the structural backbone that allows our carers, nurses, OTs, and support teams to operate with genuine kindness and creativity.

Here is what the job actually feels like:

Quiet Trust: No one is micromanaging your day or tracking your minutes. You have the freedom to look at how we do things, spot a bottleneck, and fix it with a bit of old-fashioned common sense.

The Beautiful, Messy Reality: Home care is beautifully unpredictable. Rosters get tangled, client needs shift, and people have tough days. We face the mess together with a laugh and a team that actually has your back.

A Pioneering Spirit: We are constantly growing and finding better ways to connect general practice with home care. You get to help pave that road, creating systems that make sense on the ground, not just on paper.

The Human We're After
We don't care if your resume reads like a corporate textbook. We want a resilient, warm, and deeply organised human. Someone who listens before they act, stands up for their team, and understands that smooth operations are what keep our clients safe, happy, and independent in the homes they love.

If you’re ready to leave the corporate metrics behind and do work that has some real soul to it, let's skip the stuffy process for a bit.

You know that feeling when you sit in your car between client visits, look at your steering wheel, and realise you’re being tracked like a delivery driver? That exhausting grind where "success" is measured in billable minutes rather than the actual human being sitting in front of you?

We’ve all been there. And frankly, we got tired of it.

Over at Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care (part of our Atticus Health family), we’ve stepped off the healthcare assembly line. We are looking for an Occupational Therapist who wants to do real, soulful work again.

As a GP, I get to see the sheer creativity of our OTs every day. It’s about walking into an elderly person’s home, noticing the way they stubbornly navigates their kitchen, and working out how to keep them safe without stripping away their dignity.

The way we operate here is pretty simple:

Quiet Trust: No one is breathing down your neck about corporate metrics. If a client needs an extra twenty minutes just to have a cuppa and a proper yarn so you can figure out what actually matters to them, you take that time.

Real Collaboration: You directly connected to our local GPs, home care nurses, and the creative builders at Atticus Health and Willing Enable. We talk to each other, and we pass the baton seamlessly.

The Beautiful, Messy Reality: We look after our neighbours. It’s unpredictable, it requires a healthy sense of humour, and it takes genuine kindness.

The Human We’re Looking For
We don't care about a flawless, buzzword-heavy resume. We care about who you are. We want a good, grounded human. Someone who is patient, a bit of a pioneer, and comfortable finding clever, out-of-the-box solutions to help people stay independent in the homes they love.

If you’re feeling a bit burnt out and want to remember why you chose this profession in the first place, let’s skip the formal, stuffy application process for a second.

Reach out for a completely low-pressure chat. Pop into the clinic, we'll put the kettle on, and we can just have a normal conversation to see if we’re the right fit for each other.

I was standing on the deck at Jindivick the other morning, watching that thick West Gippsland mist crawl across the green hills. It was properly freezing, the kind of cold that gets right into your knuckles before the cafe doors even open for the morning. I was wrapping both hands around a hot coffee just to keep my fingers moving, watching the steam vanish into the crisp air.
Sallie Jones from Gippsland Jersey popped in to see us at the Willing Enable Cafe. Sitting down with her over a brew, you get a raw reminder of just how much soul can be poured into a local business. Sallie and her co-founder, Steve, started Gippsland Jersey back in 2016, right in the thick of the dairy crisis. It was born out of an incredibly heavy piece of personal grief after Sallie tragically lost her dad, Michael, to su***de. Instead of letting that darkness take over, she channeled her energy into paying local dairy farmers a fair price, smashing the stigma around rural mental health, and practicing plain, old-fashioned kindness.
But Sallie didn’t just want to talk shop in the warmth of the cafe. She bundling us into the car for a two-minute drive down the road to visit Steve and Bec Ronalds' dairy farm. If I'm honest, it was just the tonic needed. There’s something universally good for the soul about seeing a paddock full of new-generation Jersey calves. They were incredibly healthy, inquisitive, and, yes, ridiculously cute. Seeing that life coming full circle on a working farm really brings home the reality of what supporting local actually means.

Lately, I’ve been noticing more and more of our neighbours making a deliberate choice to support independent local outfits like Sallie’s, Steve’s, and Bec's. It’s becoming the default standard around here, and it’s a beautiful thing to witness.
Seeing those robust calves got me thinking about health on our end of the stethoscope, too. As a GP, I spend a lot of time reviewing the dietary habits of my patients, particularly the older ones. There’s a piece of quiet, science-backed guidance I find myself offering friend-to-friend in the consulting room: don’t skip the real dairy. For elderly people, high-quality milk is massively important. It’s an easy, accessible source of calcium and protein that is absolutely crucial for keeping bones strong and preventing the frailty that can so quickly rob a person of their independence. Good dairy helps keep you moving.

That’s why we are absolutely rapt to share that Gippsland Jersey is now the official milk supplier for the Willing Enable Cafe in Jindivick. On top of that, we’ve stocked our fridges with their 1 and 2-litre cartons, so you can buy your weekly milk right here from us and bypass the big supermarkets entirely.

Next time you’re passing through Jindivick, pop in, grab a cuppa made with the good stuff, take a look at the view, and have a yarn with the team. It’s a simple way to look after your own strength, stay connected, and keep the heart of our community beating strong.

🍲 Home care should taste like home.

At Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care, every detail matters, especially the food that nourishes our clients every day.

We recently spent an inspiring afternoon meeting with the talented team at Kuche to explore a potential partnership. Why Kuche? Because they share our belief that everyone deserves high-quality, delicious, and nutritious meals that respect the dignity of dining.

What we’re looking for in a partner:
✅ Real Ingredients: Food made with care, not just "processed."
✅ Personalised Nutrition: Meals that support healthy, spirited lives.
✅ The "Soul" Factor: A supplier that understands that a great meal can be the highlight of someone’s day.

Integrating excellence with heartfelt home care means looking at the "whole person"—and that starts in the kitchen. We are excited about the possibility of bringing this level of quality to our home care community.

A huge thank you to the Kuche team for hosting us and sharing their passion for better food in aged care. Stay tuned as we continue to find new ways to bring "Health to Home Care!"

✨ A milestone for "Health to Home" care: The Willing Enable Experience Centre is officially OPEN! ✨

Yesterday, the sun was shining on Atticus Health Hastings as we celebrated the official launch of the Willing Enable Experience Centre. It was a day filled with innovation, inspiration, and—most importantly—soul.

This centre is a vision of the future. By integrating technology with our "Health to Home" model, we’re showing Australia how older adults can age safely, independently, and meaningfully in the comfort of their own homes. 🏠🚀

A Heartfelt Thank You:
An achievement like this is never a solo effort. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who brought this vision to life:

🙏 Our Partners: To the teams at Homeable and Westernport Mobility thank you for your tireless dedication to innovation and for sharing our purpose of inspiring healthy, fulfilling lives.
🙏 Our Special Guests: To our healthcare professionals, and community members who joined us, your support is what makes us a "spirited community."
🙏 The Atticus Health & Mark & Sylvie's Team: From the organisers to the clinicians who demonstrated the tech on the day, thank you for your creativity and teamwork.

Walking through the centre and seeing the "Wow" on people's faces reminded us exactly why we do what we do. We are here to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and home-based support, and this launch is just the beginning.
Missed the launch?

The Experience Centre is now open for you to explore! Come and see firsthand how we are redefining independence for older Australians.
