AGED CARE CONFIDENTIAL – MORE THAN JUST A PODCAST
Telling the Real Stories of Aged Care
Aged Care Confidential lifts the curtain on what really happens inside residential care—from the hilarious to the heartbreaking. Hosted by Amanda in rural NSW, this podcast gives voice to those who live it, breathe it, and never back down.
about us
Behind every shift is a story worth hearing.
Aged Care Confidential is hosted by Amanda, a seasoned leader in rural residential aged care who’s seen it all—and isn’t afraid to talk about it. This podcast dives head-first into the stories and conversations that too often get swept under the rug.
From broken systems to quiet resilience, from impossible staffing ratios to moments of laughter in the tea room—this is for the carers, nurses, kitchen hands, managers, and anyone who’s ever gone above and beyond for someone else’s family.
No fluff. No corporate polish. Just truth, care, and connection.

We Believe That Real Stories Deserve Real Voices
That’s why Aged Care Confidential brings you raw, honest conversations straight from the frontline of aged care…
Told by the people who live it, not just those who lead it.
Why This Matters
Because stories change systems.
Aged care professionals are burnt out, overwhelmed, and rarely listened to. This podcast shines a light on their lived experiences—not to complain, but to create connection and change.
If you work in aged care and want to feel seen, supported, and maybe even have a laugh—you’re in the right place.
