## Disability and community social work across Australia ##

About the role
Community and disability social work roles, placed with Australian employers who sponsor qualified social workers. You'll work with clients across disability, mental health, and complex social presentations — providing therapeutic interventions, coordinating supports, and advocating for people who need it most. Most positions sit within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Australia's government-funded support system for people with permanent and significant disability. Social workers with experience in high-complexity, resource-constrained environments bring a depth of practice that Australian employers genuinely value. Prior Australian experience is not required. --
