**Our participants, Our people, Our purpose**:
Currently, there are around 4.3 million Australians with a disability. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) implements the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which is one of the biggest social reforms in the country since Medicare. As an Agency, we support more than 600,000 participants with a significant and permanent disability, and the families and carers of those living with disability. For many Australians, this will be the first time they receive the disability support they need. The NDIA is designed to enhance the quality of life and increase economic and social participation for people with disability and will mean a peace of mind for every Australian.

**A new role awaits**:
The Branch supports the NDIA in meeting, with regard to financial management, its legislative and policy requirements contained in the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act (2013) and the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act (2013).

We provide budget management, budget strategy, costings and modelling functions, management reporting and financial business partnering services to the Agency. This supports the agency in its financial decision-making, and supports the Government’s objectives regarding financial sustainability of both the agency and the scheme.
As a APS4 Finance Business Partner you will join a team responsible for providing finance business partnering services to the Chief Financial Officer Division and Chief People and Wellbeing Officer Division.

This includes the provision of strategic financial advice to assist with decision making through forecasting and management reporting and acting as a connection between the business and the Branch on matters affecting the Agency in the finance domain.

**Enough about us, let’s talk about you**:
In line with the values and mission of the NDIA, you will have a positive contemporary attitude to people with disability, along with understanding and knowledge of disability and its impact on individuals. This role will provide you with opportunities to make a real difference in the lives of people with a disability and contribute to the success of the NDIA for generations to come.
