Mayflower offers competitive salaries by paying above industry standard. As Mayflower is a not for profit organisation, salary packaging is also on offer and allows employees to access part of their salary before tax for living expenses (rent, mortgage, credit card, school fees). By accessing this benefit, employees pay less tax and receive more money in their take home pay.

Mayflower offers employees and their immediate family access to an external employee assistance program. This is a free and confidential service that supports wellbeing through counselling for any work-related or personal issues.

Recognition takes place at 5 yearly increments of service and is formally celebrated during Aged Care Employee Day in August each year.

Comprehensive and supportive orientation process
All employees are provided with a comprehensive orientation when they commence with Mayflower to ensure they are set up for success.

At Mayflower we recognise our employees know their workplace better than anyone else, that is why we aim to consult with and receive input from them on as many matters as possible.

These groups provide valued insights and input on important decisions that promotes the best possible experience for both our employees and residents.
