Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander NDIS Support Worker – Sydney (Identified Position)
Tegrity Services is an Aboriginal-owned and led NDIS provider based in Revesby, delivering culturally safe support work and support coordination across Sydney. We started Tegrity because too many mob have had to explain themselves to a provider that doesn't understand culture, or have gone without support that feels protected. Our team understands culture, kinship, family and community because they live it.
Since 2021 we have supported more than 100 participants across South-West Sydney, the Inner West, the City and the Eastern Suburbs.
