About Us:

NQ Quality Care is a compassionate and dedicated disability provider committed to delivering high-quality support to individuals with complex care needs.

At NQ Quality Care

We pride ourselves on matching our Quality Care Workers with participants based on compatibility, not just qualifications. We believe that the best support comes from genuine connections — when workers and participants share common interests, values, and ways of communicating, the support experience becomes more meaningful and enjoyable for everyone involved.

This approach helps participants feel comfortable, respected, and understood, while also allowing our workers to bring their own passions and strengths into their roles. Whether it's enjoying a day outdoors, creating art, or engaging in hobbies together, compatibility creates stronger, longer-lasting support relationships.

  • Background in complex care, challenging behaviours, and psychosocial support
  • Experience providing medication assistance
  • Physically fit and able to meet the role's demands
