About us

We’re InLife, a not-for-profit disability support provider that specializes in working with people with frequent and complex support needs, including 24/7 assistance.

We build teams around every client, depending on each person’s needs and preferences, partnering with people with any type of disability who want to live independently in the community.

Our clients may have physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, neurological conditions, intellectual disabilities, or autism. We’re honored that many of our clients rely solely on InLife for their essential support needs.

Our teams are based in Melbourne, Geelong, and regional Victoria, including Benalla, Wangaratta, Stawell, and Bendigo.

- Good judgment and common sense, listening skills, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to our values.
- Experience with catheter care, peg feeding, and bowel care.
- Experience with dysphasia.
- Experience with Type 1 diabetes.
- Experience in personal care (showering and dressing) and assistance with domestic duties.
- Experience supporting people with a physical disability, including transfers/use of equipment and confidence in hoisting.
- Great patience and a willingness to build rapport with your client.
- Experience in mental health and behaviors of concern would be an advantage but not essential.
- Enthusiasm and passion for supporting people with disabilities to live great lives.
- Commitment to working with a care team approach, including guidance from professionals.
- Full driver's license and willingness to provide transport in your own vehicle (reimbursement provided).

We continue to learn more about inclusion every day, so if there is something you think we could do differently to make InLife a place you could picture yourself working, we’re all ears.
