Working and living in a developing country is very different from the environment you experience in Australia, and candidates must be innovative, flexible, adaptable, resilient and patient. Our caregivers do not focus on direct service provision and must be prepared to use a broad range of skills and personal attributes that promote practice change and sustainability. This model ensures support for the development of professional practices in Timor-Leste in such a way that they are sustainable into the future.
