Our participants, Our people, Our purpose

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to eligible Australians to build greater independence and pursue their individual goals. The NDIS also connects anyone with disability to services in their community including support offered by each state and territory government. 

The NDIS now supports over 717,000 Australians with disability to access the services and supports they need. This includes supporting approximately 100,000 children with developmental delay, ensuring they receive supports early so that they achieve the best outcomes throughout their lives. 

Working for the NDIA

The NDIA has a strong culture, driven by passion for the work we do and commitment to supporting people with disability to achieve greater independence. Our people are pioneering the management and delivery of the NDIS. We also aim to be world leaders in accessibility and inclusion, the employment of people with disability and people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The idea of people with disability being supported to live an ordinary life is central to the work of the NDIS. Through reasonable and necessary supports, the NDIS is helping people live a life with the basic opportunities many Australians take for granted.

This might mean getting involved in the community, enrolling in education programs, spending more time with family, entering the workforce for the first time or returning to work, receiving the right equipment or choosing the providers that best meet their needs.

Our values guide our day-to-day actions, behaviours, decisions, communications, performance conversations and the capabilities we are developing to successfully deliver the NDIS. They were developed for us, by us and are unique to our work. You can find more about the NDIA Values on our website.

You must be an ongoing APS employee to apply. If you are offered a temporary section 26 transfer, your home agency is required to agree to your release. All new employees to the Agency must undergo pre-employment checks, including a police record check.

Your application will remain active with the Agency for 12 months. At this time, all applicants will be invited to renew their interest in section 26 opportunities at the Agency.

Your NDIA Experience

• NDIA is committed to becoming a model employer for people with disability who are specifically encouraged to apply.
• RecruitAbility applies to this position: The RecruitAbility scheme supports people with disability applying for jobs in the Australian Public Service (APS) by giving you a better opportunity to put forward your skills and experience during the selection process.
• Dependent on the role the appropriate Working with Children / Working with Vulnerable People check may be required as per State/Territory legislation. In addition to these checks, a Worker Screening Check issued by the relevant State/Territory worker screening unit will also be required for any role for which the normal duties are likely to require more than incidental contact with people with disability.
