NDIS Disability Support Workers assist people with disability to live safely, independently and with greater choice. Duties may include personal care, meal preparation, medication support, domestic assistance, transport, community access and implementing individual support plans. Candidates are generally expected to hold or obtain a Certificate III in Individual Support, Disability or a related qualification, along with current First Aid and CPR certificates, an NDIS Worker Screening Check, police check and a valid driver’s licence. Experience in disability, aged care or community services is valuable. The role requires patience, reliability, strong communication, respect for participant choice, professional boundaries and the ability to work flexible shifts, including weekends and evenings.
