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. We wrap a care team around them 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.
About the Role
If you’re someone who loves people, brings great energy to everything you do, and is excited to grow your career in HR, this could be the perfect next step for you.
As our People Coordinator, you’ll sit at the heart of our People team, playing a key role in creating a positive and supportive experience for our employees. You’ll be someone people naturally turn to, you’re approachable, helpful, and always ready to find a solution.
This is a fantastic opportunity to build strong HR foundations, gain broad exposure across the employee lifecycle, and learn by doing. If you’re proactive, curious, and eager to grow, you’ll thrive in this role.
At Five Good Friends, our work truly matters. We support older Australians and people living with disability to live well, safely, and independently at home. The work you do, whether it’s welcoming a new team member or supporting someone through a query, will directly contribute to our impact.
What you’ll be doing
No two days are the same in the best way possible! You’ll be a trusted go-to for employees and play an important role in supporting our people experience. You’ll:
- Be the first point of contact for employee queries, bringing a positive and solutions-focused approach
- Support employees across their journey from onboarding through to offboarding, and everything in between
- Prepare contracts, letters, and general HR documentation with care and attention to detail
- Help create a smooth and welcoming experience for new starters
- Work closely with the People team to support day-to-day HR coordination activities
- Contribute ideas to improve how we support and engage our people
- Get involved in a variety of people initiatives and projects as you grow in the role
About You
You’re an early-career HR professional who brings great energy and a genuine passion for people. You’re eager to learn, not afraid to roll up your sleeves, and excited by the opportunity to grow your HR career.
You’ll thrive if you:
- Have 1–2 years’ experience in HR, admin, or a people-focused coordination role
- Are organised, reliable, and able to manage multiple priorities
- Take pride in your work and have strong attention to detail
- Are proactive and confident in taking initiative
- Are curious and motivated to learn and grow within HR
- Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same
- Are a team player who contributes to a positive and supportive team culture
Why this role?
Build on your HR career in a supportive, purpose-driven organisation where you’ll gain broad exposure across the HR function and grow your capability. You’ll be part of an energised People team and work alongside leaders who will support and invest in your development. All while doing meaningful work that has a real impact on people’s lives.
And a few more things we think you’ll value:
- A competitive salary package that recognises your skills and experience.
- Flexible work options, based in South Brisbane with the option to work from home a few days per week.
- Annual $500 health and wellbeing allowance.
