Mental Health & Wellbeing Support Worker 

About us

We are a NDIS registered provider supporting people with disability across southeast Queensland. 

We support people to practice decision-making across all parts of life, and our relationship-based model of co-designing supports places the person at the centre of all their life decisions, so a person can live their best life, make their own plans, and be treated with dignity and respect, free from discrimination. 

It is our goal to provide supports that match a person’s preferences and to recruit workers to deliver customised supports that build skills and abilities to enable the person to achieve their goals. 

We employ people who reflect the diversity of the people we support. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, mature age workers, and people who identify as LGBTIQA+.
