• You are not yet considered suitable by the NDIS Commission, and you are willing to work a structured pathway under supervision
• Quality, ethics and reliability — we hire for the right heart, not just the CV
• A current NDIS Worker Screening Check, or willingness to obtain one before you start
• Current First Aid and CPR, or willingness to obtain before you start
• A full Australian driving licence and access to a reliable vehicle (kilometres are reimbursed)
• The right to work in Australia

What you get

• Salary: $75,000–$85,000 + super, the same in every location
• We build your caseload gradually as you progress.
• $1,500 professional development allowance
• $2,000 supervision allowance

• Hybrid / work from home, with local participant, school and stakeholder work
