Capecare Carer Dee makes a huge impact

/in ,
Dee Naikidi joined Capecare as part of our first intake of Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme carers back in 2022.
She has made a huge impact in that time. Our residents and staff adore her, and she won a HealthX Carer of the Year award in 2023 for her reliability, work ethic, mentorship, and flexibility.
Most significantly, Dee has been able to build her family in Fiji a home.
When Tropical Cyclone Yasa struck Fiji in December 2020, Dee’s family lost everything — their home was destroyed, forcing them to relocate to a makeshift camp. Determined to give her family a better life, Dee joined the PALM scheme, securing a job with Capecare as a carer.
In just seven months, her earnings enabled her to build a four-bedroom house for her parents and daughter, replacing the emergency shelter her family had lived in since the cyclone.
Here’s her story, filmed recently in Busselton and Fiji by the PALM Scheme.
