A support co-ordinator plays a critical role in supporting participants (and families) to understand their NDIS plans, navigate the NDIS system and the interfaces into the broader system of services and to build their capacity to direct their supports independently over time.

You will work directly with NDIS participants to develop plans to support them to live a fulfilling and meaningful life at home, in the community and achieve their goals.

Using an individualised approach, you will explore/investigate and coordinate a variety of services for participants, by facilitating effective working relationships and communications with the carers, family, external services, and other key stakeholders to help provide the most well-rounded support available.

This is a Part time role based in our Yarrawonga Office and reports directly to the CEO.

We see ability not disability, if you identify as a person with a different ability please get in contact.
