The Benevolent Society’s vision is to build a just society where all Australians can live their best life. For more than 200 years we have supported people at the margins of society: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians; children, young people, and their families; older people; carers and people with disability. We are an independent, non-religious service provider which supports people to live life their way.
As part of The Benevolent Society's vision, we are strongly committed to reconciliation with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia. We remain steadfast in our commitment to promoting the economic, political, and social inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The Benevolent Society is a Partner in the Community for the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and are adding additional Child Development Specialists to our growing Early Childhood Approach (ECA) team.
You will work in partnership with families and early childhood services to gather information on their child’s development. You will support families to develop, understand and implement their child’s NDIS plans. As an evolving scheme, the NDIS environment can be dynamic and fast-paced, if you are open and excited by change and love being part of creating and working through the best approach, come join us and be part of making a difference through these changes.
You will meet with families virtually, over the phone or face to face, to gather information on their child’s development and current supports. You will work in partnership with the family to develop goals, with a focus on participant and engagement across the child’s natural environments to promote meaningful change.
We support people to live their best life. That includes you, our employee. A ‘best life’ is unique to everyone and can change as life changes:
