Eunice at ACH Group

From volunteering to landing the job

For Eunice, aged care works

In February 2024, Eunice landed the job of her dreams after working with ACH Group as a volunteer.

After two months volunteering, she had formed strong connections with residents and loved the workforce culture.

“I was warmly welcomed and immediately connected with the residents and the other workers,” she said.

“It didn’t take long for me to think ‘my goodness, I would love to work here’.

“I didn’t go in to volunteering thinking it would transform into a career I love – but it has.”

Eunice said volunteering can be an excellent way into a profession that gives you a unique insight into the work and the organisation prior to beginning.

“For me volunteering was the best place to start,” she said.

🎭 Stage lights, gym gains, and gratitude for life! 💪✨

We spoke with Barry Hill OAM, a Health Studio customer and retirement living resident, about life since receiving the Order of Australia Medal in 2023 for his contributions to theatre and musical performance.

Barry’s passion for theatre has shown no signs of slowing. He recounts last year’s performances: “Last year I stage managed Shirley Valentine, played Sir Lancelot Spratt in Doctor in the House, directed Girl of the Frozen North (a melodrama) and played Dame Cookie in the pantomime Alice in Wonderland, all for Tea Tree Players.

“I think I enjoyed playing the Dame most of all as in classic pantomime the Dame works with the audience, ad-libs freely, and provides a lot of the adult humour of the production. The ‘custard pie’ sequence was a lot of fun getting four pies in the face every night and then having to refresh the makeup quickly and change for the next scene!”

Barry Hill’s story is all about energy, creativity, staying healthy, and community - a reminder that passion for life - and theatre - knows no limits.
