NDIS Worker

An NDIS Worker supports individuals with disabilities to achieve their goals and enhance their independence. You might work in clients’ homes, community settings, or disability support facilities. NDIS Workers assist with daily activities, personal care, transport, and social engagement. You’ll provide emotional support and help clients develop life skills to improve their overall well-being.

NDIS Workers play a vital role in empowering people with disabilities. You’ll need to be compassionate, patient, and adaptable, with strong communication skills. You’ll work closely with clients, families, and healthcare professionals to ensure tailored support that meets individual needs and promotes inclusion within the community.
