**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 Partners, Providers, and Home and Living Group at the NDIA has multiple EL1 Assistant Director vacancies including:

- Reform Policy and Project Leads
- Program Managers
- Project Managers
- Market Leads

We are looking for a diverse range of experienced professionals who can bring their flexible, and transferable skills to the wide-ranging NDIS reform and market initiatives being delivered across the Partners, Providers, and Home and Living Group.

The Group is working to ensure the NDIS market, the broader ecosystem that allows participants funding to be translated into tangible supports, is performing well. It consists of four divisions including:

- Markets
- Partners and intermediary Reform
- Home and Living
- Providers

**Where you can add value**:
You will be leading the development of contemporary and informed policy, strategies and/or projects related to the NDIA market and operations of the PPHL Group. You may be leading programs and projects, and working collaboratively with market stakeholders.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

- Develop contemporary and informed policies, programs, projects and strategies
- Build relationships and work with stakeholders to solve problems
- Provide leadership and expertise
- Build a positive and high-performing team.

**Enough about us, let’s talk about you**:
We are seeking experienced leaders who are motivated to improve the NDIS for participants and providers.

You will be a collaborator, who brings ideas and opportunities to problems. You will work independently, in teams and flexibly.

You will bring your sound judgment, decision-making skills and governance skills to drive progress on the important initiatives delivered by the Group.

**Your NDIA Experience**:
We work as one team. We are accepting, diverse and driven. We take a shared approach to making progress. We welcome and support each other and encourage different ideas, insights and opinions. We empower and enable each other to be our best. We collaborate, connect and work together to create a workplace that makes us proud. And while we're based far and wide across the country, we make sure nobody feels they are out on their own.

Some of the benefits of working for the NDIA include:

- ** Flexibility**: We know a workday looks different for everyone. We offer flexible work, hybrid, flexible, and part-time roles, ergonomic assessments, and the NDIA, which will help you create a positive work-life balance.
- ** Tailored career growth**: Study allowances and time off. Support to build your career. Mentorship, temporary job transfers and a specialised online learning platform. Training opportunities to develop your skills.
- ** Accessibility and inclusion at the core of what we do**: Accessibility and inclusion guide our actions and decisions. By embracing diversity, we not only create a more dynamic and innovative workplace but also better serve the needs of more than 600,000 NDIS participants.

While this role is ideally performed from Deakin - ACT, Surry Hills, Parramatta - NSW, Brisbane, Robina - QLD, Adelaide - SA, Geelong & Richmond - VIC, remote working arrangements may be considered. We intend to fill this role in an ongoing capacity, however non-ongoing roles up to 12 months with the possibility of extension up to 2 years may be offered.
