Bring your experience. Build trust. Support independence.

Experienced Disability Support Workers | Casual

Bairnsdale & Latrobe Valley

Great support starts with a worker who takes the time to understand the person.

Someone who notices when things aren’t quite right, stays calm when circumstances change, and supports people with dignity through the most personal parts of their day.

Does that sound like you?

Your Own Way Australia Ltd is looking for experienced Disability Support Workers to support people with complex needs across Bairnsdale and the Latrobe Valley.

If you bring practical care skills, sound judgement and a respectful approach, we’d like to hear from you.

The work you’ll do

You’ll support participants in their homes and community, helping them maintain comfort, safety, choice and independence.

Depending on the participant’s needs and support plan, your work may include:

- Personal care: assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, toileting and daily routines.

- Complex physical support: bowel care, including digital stimulation, stoma care and catheter management, within your training and assessed competency.

- Everyday living: meal preparation, household tasks and support to build daily living skills.

- Community participation: helping people access activities, appointments and social connections that matter to them.

- Consistent, informed support: following individual plans, responding to behaviours of concern and completing explicit, accurate progress notes.

You may support people whose lives have been affected by trauma, family violence, or drug and alcohol challenges.



A calm, culturally safe and trauma-informed approach is central to this work.

Personal care and complex physical support are core parts of these positions. Applicants must be confident and willing to provide hands-on assistance.

What you’ll bring

We’re seeking workers who can build trust, maintain professional boundaries and work confidently both independently and alongside a multidisciplinary team.

You’ll need

- Certificate III in Individual Support, Disability or Aged Care, or a relevant Certificate IV or higher qualification.

- Demonstrated experience supporting people with complex needs and behaviours of concern.

- Practical experience supporting people with high physical care needs.

- Clear communication and documentation skills.

- Reliability, adaptability and respect for each participant’s choices, privacy and dignity.

Experience in trauma-informed practice and working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities will be highly regarded.
