You will also support our Early Childhood Approach (NDIS Partner in the Community) services, assisting children up to 6 years with developmental delay/concern as well as children up to 9 years with disability, and their families across the region.

As the first point of contact for our Emerald service, you will create a warm and welcoming experience for families while managing reception and phone enquiries, emails, client records and referrals.
