About the role
Disability Support Worker (Community Access)
Help people get out, stay connected, and enjoy life.
About Discover Nursing Australia
At Discover Nursing Australia, we believe that great support is about building genuine relationships, encouraging independence, and helping people enjoy the things that matter most to them.
We're looking for friendly, reliable, and compassionate Disability Support Workers (DSWs) who are passionate about supporting participants with community access. Every day is different—you might be accompanying someone to appointments, enjoying a coffee at their favourite café, going shopping, attending local events, exploring parks, participating in hobbies, or supporting them to achieve their personal goals within the community.
Our goal is simple: to help participants build confidence, increase independence, and enjoy meaningful participation in their community.
Why Join Our Team?
We are currently seeking caring and enthusiastic Disability Support Workers to join our growing Brisbane team on a contractor (ABN/Sole Trader) basis.
Contracting with us provides the flexibility to choose when and where you work while being backed by a supportive, nurse-led organisation.
What We Offer:
- Flexible working hours that fit around your lifestyle.
- Choose the participants and shifts that suit you.
- A variety of community access shifts available across Brisbane.
- Competitive hourly rates plus transport reimbursement where applicable.
- Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance provided.
- Ongoing support from our experienced Registered Nurse and coordination team.
- Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
- A welcoming and supportive team that genuinely values its workers.
About the Role
As a Disability Support Worker, you'll make a meaningful difference by supporting participants to engage with their local community and achieve their NDIS goals.
Your duties may include:
- Supporting participants to attend appointments.
- Accompanying participants to cafés, shopping centres, parks, libraries, and community events.
- Assisting with grocery shopping and everyday errands.
- Supporting recreational activities, hobbies, and social outings.
- Encouraging confidence, independence, and social participation.
- Providing companionship and meaningful community engagement.
- Assisting participants to achieve their individual NDIS goals through person-centred support.
Every participant is unique, making each day rewarding and different.
What You'll Need:
- An active ABN (or willingness to obtain one).
- Australian working rights.
- Certificate III in Individual Support (or equivalent).
- Current NDIS Worker Screening Check.
- Current National Police Check.
- Current First Aid Certificate and CPR.
- Completion of the NDIS Worker Orientation Module – Quality, Safety and You.
- A current driver's licence and a reliable, comprehensively insured vehicle, as community access support involves transporting participants to appointments and activities.
Who We're Looking For:
We're looking for people who are:
- Friendly, compassionate, and respectful.
- Reliable and professional.
- Excellent communicators.
- Passionate about helping people become more independent.
- Comfortable working independently while remaining part of a supportive team.
- Committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred support.
Experience is valued, but a positive attitude, empathy, and a genuine desire to make a difference are equally important.
