About candella

Candella is an innovative, rapidly growing, not-for-profit mental health organisation providing individual outreach services through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Our aim is for our services to reach as many people as possible, and for those services to make a positive contribution to all customers, their families, and their local communities.

Candella has provided recovery-oriented mental health outreach services across Victoria since 2018. We have recently launched our services in Sydney and are looking to build a strong team of Wellbeing Facilitators in this area.

Candella is a mobile organisation, with no physical office locations. We have a strong online communications system and are committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment, with policies, procedures, and systems in place to maintain the physical and mental wellbeing of all employees.

We believe that diversity makes us better, and we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and lived experiences.

our approach

At Candella, we turn up to work each day so that the people who use our services will end up with a better quality of life: more independent, more socially connected, healthier, happier, and with a greater sense of optimism and self-belief.

We believe that all people have the right to set their own direction in life, and we give them the space to make progress on their own terms, in their own way, at their own pace. We are not here to fix people, or change them, or tell them what to do. We are here to help them on their way, whichever way that is.
