• ABN and ability to work as an independent contractor


• Experience supporting individuals with emotional or psychosocial complexities


• Strong communication and documentation skills


• NDIS Worker Screening Check (mandatory)


• Working with Children Check and First Aid certification


• Driver's license and reliable transport

Desirable Attributes


• Certificate in Mental Health, Community Services, or a related field


• Life experience, emotional maturity, calm under pressure.


• Confidence in navigating sensitive scenarios with discretion and care


• Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team culture


• Proactive mindset – someone who takes initiative and completes tasks without needing to be asked


• Practical, hard-working, and able to think on your feet

While relevant certificates and checks are mandatory—including a current NDIS Worker Screening Check—we welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. Reference checks will be conducted, but we are open to supporting anyone who demonstrates a genuine desire to work in this field, supporting certification in this industry. Life experience, emotional maturity, and a commitment to ethical, participant-centered care are highly valued.

To Apply

If you're someone who leads with care, works with integrity, and thrives in practical, emotionally attuned environments—we'd love to hear from you. Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your experience and interest in the role.
