We're Hiring!

We are looking for a passionate and experienced General Manager to lead Masters Lodge into its next chapter, while continuing its strong tradition of delivering exceptional aged care in the local community.

Imagine leading a respected aged care home in the heart of Hervey Bay. A place where residents, families, and staff feel a true sense of belonging. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Queensland’s Fraser Coast, Masters Lodge offers more than care; it is a welcoming community where older Australians are supported to live with dignity and purpose.

About the Role

As the General Manager of Masters Lodge, you will combine your clinical expertise, operational skills, and compassionate leadership to create a home where residents and staff thrive. You will oversee the day-to-day operations of our facility, ensuring the highest standards of care, compliance, and safety, while fostering a workplace culture that is inclusive, engaged, and supportive.

You will be the face of Masters Lodge, building strong connections with residents, families, staff, and the wider Hervey Bay community. Working closely with Respect Aged Care’s corporate services teams, you will have the backing to focus on what you do best: leading people and shaping culture.

This is a unique opportunity to make a tangible impact, combining professional leadership with a strong sense of purpose, all in one of Queensland’s most sought-after coastal regions.

What Makes This Role Different?

• Competitive salary plus salary packaging
• Relocation assistance to help you settle in
• Retention bonus & annual performance bonus to recognise your impact
• Support to grow your career in a values-driven, expanding organisation

About You

• Leadership experience in residential aged care (ideally 3+ years)
• Strong knowledge of aged care quality standards and funding frameworks
• A confident communicator who leads with empathy, professionalism, and integrity
• Passion for resident-centred care and building a positive, supportive team culture

Why Hervey Bay?

Known as the gateway to K’gari (Fraser Island), Hervey Bay is one of Queensland’s most desirable coastal communities. With its relaxed lifestyle, beautiful beaches, and family-friendly environment, it offers the perfect balance of work and leisure. Living here means enjoying an enviable lifestyle while making a meaningful difference in the lives of older people.
