Casual - Gold Coast

Gold Coast Disability Connect - Multiple positions available

Make every shift matter!

At Gold Coast Disability Connect, we support NDIS participants and older members of our community to live safely, independently, and on their own terms, at home and out in the community.

Excellent support work changes lives, not just for the people we support, but for the workers who show up with heart, skill, and genuine care. We're growing our casual Support Worker team across the Gold Coast region, and we're looking for people who see this work for what it truly is: helping people live the lives they choose, with dignity and independence, at every age and stage.
