About us

Luminary Community Services was created in response to too many individuals who require support being unable to access services.

LCS is committed to providing a service to individuals who are falling through the gaps. Our passion is about addressing the unique needs of those who might not fit neatly into existing support categories or require more specialised assistance.

Through personalised care, advocacy, and innovative solutions, we strive to empower these individuals to access the support they deserve, enhancing their quality of life and promoting inclusion within the NDIS community.

We are committed to making a positive impact and creating a more inclusive and compassionate disability support landscape. We have strong collaborative relationships with other local support providers and are seeking to help improve the overall quality of supports provided to those who need it.

“We contribute positively to the lives of people who need support to live a life they find meaningful.”

As an Occupational Therapist with Luminary Community Services, you will join a close-knit, highly passionate team of people committed to achieving exceptional outcomes. Due to our commitment to quality over quantity, you will receive a constant high level of support and get the opportunity to have a very real impact on how your services are delivered. You will have direct input into how your services are delivered, what resources you have available to you and who you work with. LCS is committed to providing you with an environment where you can thrive and grow both professionally and personally.
