Bindy Marshall has worked in the aged care industry for over eight years, after a varied career working in conference events and sales manager roles.

She recognises that putting a loved one into care is one of the most stressful things a family member or friend can do. The people she assists are often at the end of their tether in their dealings with hospitals, aged care facilities and Centrelink. They need simplicity, compassion, and care, and Bindy thrives on being able to guide them through the labyrinth of aged care support.

In a show of true community spirit, Bindy founded the Aged Care We Care Appeal, which delivers over 1,000 gifts to residential aged care facilities and hospitals at Christmas time to those in our community who have no family or friends to visit.

Bindy brings to Attwood Marshall Lawyers significant experience in the financial side of aged care. In her previous role, Bindy prepared, completed, and lodged aged care fees assessments for both aged care and home care packages with Centrelink. She has built up considerable skill in dealing with accounts, finding placement for clients, completing documentation for entering care, and liaising with hospital social workers, home care providers and My Aged Care to support her clients’ needs.

She also enjoys a wide network of contacts in the industry, largely due to her role as chairperson for the Gold Coast Seniors Round Table meetings for the past eight years. The round table is made up of like-minded industry professionals who come together each month to discuss how to improve the aged care and retirement living sectors.

Bindy holds a Cert III in Business Administration and Event Management, as well as a certificate in Community Justice Services (Commissioner of Declarations). She has also obtained a certificate in Suicide Prevention through non-profit Wesley Mission, and a certificate in Introduction to Aged Care through specialist service provider Aged Care Gurus.

Bindy loves going to work to help vulnerable families navigate through the difficulties that can arise during the transition to aged care, giving them the confidence to know that they are making the right choices for their loved one. She’s always loved helping people – it’s her passion and what drew her into the aged care industry.
