• Identify and apply for funding for the program and new initiatives
• Market and promote the program with stakeholders, mainstream and social media
• Manage program finances including the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) payments, invoicing and grant acquittal processes

Employment: 4 days per week part time contract until end of 2021 with new contract depending on funding.
