Help people get the most from their NDIS plan and build the supports they need to achieve their goals.
Carbal is looking for an experienced and motivated NDIS Support Coordinator to join our team in Toowoomba.
This is a rewarding opportunity to work directly with NDIS participants, helping them understand their plans, connect with the right services and supports, exercise choice and control, and build greater confidence in navigating the NDIS.

This is a role for someone who enjoys working with people, solving problems and getting things organised. You'll need to be comfortable managing your own caseload and working independently, while knowing you have the support of the broader Carbal team around you.
You'll also have the advantage of working within a multidisciplinary organisation, with access to GPs, Aboriginal Health Workers, Allied Health professionals, community programs and other support services, while also developing strong relationships with external NDIS providers and community organisations.
