WE ARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WANT!

Connect is a well - established, locally run not - for - profit organisation, based in Sydney’s inner west. We have long provided transport services to support the aged, transport disadvantaged and those with a disability get about and about in their local community.

We are NDIS registered and looking to expand our NDIS services from February 2022, with a focus on the vibrant inner west.

People with a disability who want support to live and participate in the community will get exactly that. The support Connect will provide is based on what people ask us to do for them, and with them. This may be individual or delivered in groups.

To meet our expansion plans, we are looking for casual Disability Support Workers or independent disability support providers to join us.
