Maintenance manager Michael Parker is the longest-serving employee of the aged care complex, with 45 years under his belt, while hotel service manager Trish Fraser has 30 years.
Personal carer Tammy Clarke was acknowledged for 25 years, with Elizabeth Moloney, Monica Swann and Margaret McCarthy recognised for their 15 years.
Amanda Ingold, Barb Clothier, Kath Fowler, Virginia Hayward, Margaret Smith and Barbara Giddins have all worked 10 years.
“I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else,” Ms Clarke told a special afternoon tea to celebrate the staff’s many milestones.
During the gathering, staff reflected on the many changes they have seen over the years, including the refurbishments of Wendy Hucker Nursing Home and Nan Roberts Community Hostel and the multi-million dollar redevelopment to rebuild and modernise The Haven’s independent living facilities, which is well under way.
