About Us

At Staying Independent, we do things differently. International award winning healthcare provider. Recently named Favourite Healthcare company across Asia-Pacific, and our CEO named Global Winner - Best Entrepreneur (Healthcare).

Founded by an Occupational Therapist, we've built a collaborative care model where support workers and allied health professionals (OTs, Dietitians, and Physiotherapists) work side-by-side to create real, lasting change. Recognised as an international award-winning organisation, our approach helps NDIS participants build purpose, independence, and a better quality of life.

The Opportunity

We're expanding our Sydney team and are looking for dedicated Mental Health Support Workers to help roll out this innovative model of care.

What You'll Do

  • Support clients with daily living activities including personal care, meal preparation, daily planning, budgeting, and household tasks.
  • Facilitate community access and participation — from social outings to education, work, and appointments.
  • Collaborate with our allied health team to implement client goals and weekly schedules.
  • Maintain accurate records and progress notes.

What You Bring

  • Experience supporting people with mental health conditions.
  • Certificate III/IV in Disability, Mental Health, Aged Care (or equivalent experience).
  • Previous experience with NDIS participants highly regarded.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to build rapport with clients and families.
