Meet Gladys, Nanyima aged care's highly experienced Personal Care Worker

With a nursing career that spans over 17 years, Gladys is one of three new Internationally Qualified Nurses who have joined the Nanyima Aged Care Community team as Personal Care Workers under a two-year training visa. 

What brings you to Nanyima? 

I’ve always wanted to live in Australia and further my career here so I’m deeply grateful to have been accepted into this training program. I’m currently planning to sponsor my husband, so we can build our lives together in this beautiful region. 

What do you love most about your role and this opportunity? 

There is a very strong sense of community at Nanyima which I love! I’m really enjoying being in a team that approaches resident care with such compassion and empathy. I’m also loving getting to know residents so well. 

How has the Nanyima team supported you? 

Moving from Dubai to regional Queensland has been a huge change for me, but everyone has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome. As well as helping me with accommodation, I’ve been thoroughly supported so I can thrive professionally and personally within the community. 

The Key2Care training program provides Internationally Qualified Nurses with exceptional training and support to become Registered Nurses in Australia. Participating in this program ensures we bring the very best, experienced staff to Nanyima and continue to build a kind, compassionate team that puts residents first.
