Hello Everyone!
I’m Elma Rustemi, the Carer Lead for the Melbourne East Team and I’m proud to be part of such a compassionate and dedicated team. I joined Prestige in December 2024, however I have also previously worked for Prestige as a carer a few years ago. I have worked within the healthcare system for 2 years now, with the majority of my experience within Community Rehabilitation at the Alfred Hospital. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, camping getaways over the weekends and soaking up the sun either by the beach or visiting waterfalls across Victoria.

What’s your favourite part of working at Prestige Inhome Care?
I love working with Prestige because of the incredible work culture and the devoted support to both staff, carers and clients. I work within the Client Services department and the team is dedicated, compassionate, and collaborative, creating a positive and inclusive environment. I feel truly valued, with my contributions recognised and appreciated. The management is always approachable and provides continuous training and guidance, which helps me grow both personally and professionally.
It’s clear that Prestige cares not only about the clients but also about the well-being and development of its staff, making it an inspiring and rewarding place to work.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
The best piece of advice I have ever received and truly live by is Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity. We are only human; everyone makes mistakes and setbacks are part of the journey. Instead of fearing failure, view it as an opportunity to grow, learn, and improve across all aspects of life.

What’s a little known fact about you that might surprise people?
I am a qualified Black Belt Dan 2 with training and competition experience for over 10 years.
Do you have any passions beyond work?
I have a passion for travel. I have travelled to Europe over ten times across a variety of countries and am aiming to start expanding my travels to North/South America and Asia.
