We are currently looking for caring and enthusiastic Support Workers to join our fast-growing Perth team!

About us

Lifeplan is a not-for-profit organisation that provides disability support services to people of all ages throughout Perth, Western Australia. Established in 1999, Lifeplan is an NDIS registered service provider that prides itself on working collaboratively with local co-ordinators, planners, guardians and accommodation providers. 

As a service provider, Lifeplan’s work is focused on always being alongside customers, supporting them to take charge of their own lives; and helping them to participate fully within their self-identified community. Those services are tailored to support customers and their families to choose the support they need, who will provide it, and how it will be delivered. Individualised customer service, and matching support workers to customers are central to the work that we do.

We also enjoy a laugh, and we embrace diversity, inclusion and creativity. It all adds to the fabric of Lifeplan.
