Working at Lifestart means working for an organisation that has grown from humble beginnings to become one of Australia's leading disability service providers without compromising the values at its heart.
Lifestart was founded in 1996 by a group of eight families who believed kids with disability deserved better support. Today, we operate out of eight offices throughout NSW and support over 10,000 children and young people, their families and their carers across Australia. It's a success we're proud of because it is a success built on lived experience and a genuine desire to change lives for the better.
Lifestart Disability Services delivers the Early Childhood Approach on behalf of the NDIS across NSW. We work in partnership to empower children aged 0-9 years and their families, building their capacity so they have the tools to reach their full potential.
