The role

What you'll do

You'll support NDIS participants to live the way they choose: at home, out in the community and working towards their goals.

Your day-to-day

  • Give person-centred support that respects each person's choices, goals and routines
  • Help with personal care, daily living tasks, meal preparation and household tasks
  • Support people to take part in the community: appointments, recreation and social activities
  • Help people build skills and independence
  • Follow support plans, and positive behaviour support plans where they are in place
  • Write clear progress notes and incident reports
  • Keep professional boundaries and protect each person's dignity, choice and privacy

Who you'll support

  • Children, young people and adults with NDIS plans
  • Physical, intellectual, psychosocial and developmental disability
  • Autistic children and adults
  • Some people with complex support needs

Support is person-centred: each person's plan, routines and preferences guide the work.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need a Cert III to be a support worker?

Not for our roles: a Certificate III or IV in Individual Support, Disability, Community Services or similar is desirable, not essential. At least 1 year of disability support experience is essential, and the NDIS Commission's worker orientation module is mandatory for staff of registered providers.

I don't have an NDIS Worker Screening Clearance yet. Can I still apply?

Yes, if you have already applied for it (and the same goes for your Blue Card). Queensland has a no card, no start rule: you need the clearance before your first shift with a registered NDIS provider like us.

Who can apply?

Applicants of all backgrounds are welcome. We hire on skills, values, reliability and the required checks, and participants choose who supports them. Telling us your gender on the form is optional.

How long does the NDIS Worker Screening Check take?

It varies, and the clock starts only once your employer confirms your application. Disability Worker Screening checks your application only after the provider engaging you has verified it, so apply as soon as you have an offer. For Blue Cards, the Queensland Government says most applications are approved within 5 business days when there is no criminal history or other concerning information, and most risk assessments are finished within 21 business days.

Can I do support work without a car?

Not with us: a car is required for our roles. Shifts mean driving between participants, so you need an open Queensland driver licence and a registered, roadworthy car with comprehensive insurance.

Is support work a good job?

It suits people who want flexible, people-focused work, and demand is growing. Jobs and Skills Australia counted about 376,300 aged and disabled carers in February 2026, up 27,100 in a year, and 60% work part-time. You help people live the way they choose, and casual shifts can fit around study or family.

How much travel is involved?

Shifts are in people's homes and out in the community, so you'll drive between participants. Travel between participants can take from 20 minutes to an hour. You'll need your own reliable, insured car.

What happens after I express my interest?

Our team reviews each application and contacts applicants whose experience and availability suit our current shifts. You're welcome to call us on 0403 828 422 if you have questions.
