About the role

The role will assist in building connections and engaging support services while building capacity and enabling participants to live more independently and be included in their communities. In addition the NDIS Support Coordinator will provide assistance to prospective ATSICHS clients who are applying to be a participant in the NDIS at all stages including applications and appeals in order to improve acceptance rate of ‘Access Request’ applications for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with a disability.
