Our Purpose and Ambition
NextSense is a not-for-profit organisation supporting people with vision or hearing loss across Australia.

We work with children, adults, and their families, providing a holistic approach to hearing services for newborns through to people over 90 years old, and helping children who are blind or have low vision to develop the right skills, mobility, and independence to confidently explore their world.

NextSense has been breaking boundaries since 1860, and we've been expanding our services ever since.

Today, we deliver world-class education (both to children with sensory loss and to professionals in the field), cochlear implants, allied health services, therapy, research, and clinical services to children and adults.

We're a registered NDIS provider, working with our clients to achieve their own goals and potential.


We're committed to research and innovation; harnessing the latest technologies and new ways of thinking and educating the next generation to lead the way in hearing and vision services.


We are currently creating a world-leading centre for innovation on-site at Macquarie University that represents a new era for hearing and vision loss.

This nationally significant social infrastructure project will be a place to nurture, trial and share new ideas and form new partnerships that will drive better outcomes for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or have low vision.


The Role
NextSense has an exciting opportunity for an Administration Assistant to join our team at Canberra.

This is a permanent full-time role, working 38 hours per week and reports directly to Head of Early Intervention & Therapy Services.

- liaising with clients, visitors and external partners such as hospitals, cochlear implant providers and other allied health professionals
- effectively using the electronic client mangement system to book appointments, maintain records and bill clients
