The role reviews history information about applicants and makes an assessment as to whether they pose a risk of harm to people with disability (NDIS participants).

It conducts the role in accordance with relevant legislation, policies and procedures and makes consistent, considered and evidence-based recommendations.

We are seeking a motivated and resilient person to:

- Review and categorise criminal, workplace and other records in accordance with relevant legislation and business procedures.
- Identify and obtain relevant information from external parties including applicants and employers to inform the assessment process.
- Critically analyse information to form a view on its probity and weight in an assessment.
- Ensure that communication (written and verbal) with applicants is clear, simple and easy to understand, while communicating complex and sensitive information.
- Ability to distil complex and sensitive matters into concise, accurate and persuasive advice on the assessment of risk.

**Key knowledge and experience**
- Demonstrated experience in risk analysis and assessment is preferred.
- Proven experience in administrative or regulatory decision making is preferred.

**Essential requirements**
- A tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline and/or extensive relevant workplace experience is required.
