Hi there! We’re Five Good Friends.
We’re an approved aged care and NDIS service provider helping our Members (others call them clients) live vibrantly in their own homes. Friendship guides our philosophy.
Our approach to care is done the Five Good Friends way—we wrap a care team around our Members and their families, supported by innovative software that coordinates in the background,
so our teams can focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care. We’re proud to be a place where purpose meets impact. Every day, our work contributes to helping people live their best lives, and that starts with our people.
As we continue to grow and expand our Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (ATHM) service, we’re looking for someone who is passionate about helping older Australians live
safely, independently and confidently at home. That’s where you come in.
About the Role
We’re looking for an Assistive Technology & Home Modifications (ATHM) Service Coordinator to join
our Care & Quality team.

their quality of life, and continue living safely in the homes they love.
You’ll work closely with Members, their families and representatives, allied health professionals, suppliers, installers, builders and internal care teams to coordinate the end-to-end delivery of AT-HM services. From referral and funding through to procurement, installation and review, you’ll help guide Members through what can often be a complex journey with confidence and care. We’re looking for someone who combines strong coordination skills with a genuine passion for helping people.

- Identifying, documenting and escalating risks relating to installations, access, environments, safety and service delivery.
- Supporting reviews of ATHM solutions when Member needs change or additional support is required.
- Building strong relationships with Members, representatives, suppliers and internal teams.
- Contributing to quality improvement initiatives, audits and the ongoing development of our ATHM service.
- Representing Five Good Friends with pride, passion and professionalism.
