About the program

This role sits within the Disability Division, working towards a vision for communities where people have equal rights, choice and opportunity. This position will work closely with other programs across the organisation. Working with participants of the NDIS shifts the focus of service delivery so that services are built around people and tailored to their unique needs, goals and aspirations, rather than around rigid program eligibility. 

About the role

The support coordination team aims to facilitate outcomes for people with disability by adhering to the principles of a rights-based approach, delivered with respect and integrity, by professionals with a high standard of customer service. Support Coordinators work in a way that is reflective and grounded in our organisational values and principles. Through building relationships, we follow best practice approaches and are accountable for the delivery against outcomes identified by clients and customers.
