NDIS jobs in Gippsland are growing in demand, offering meaningful and rewarding careers for people who want to make a positive impact in their community. These roles are part of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which provides funding and support to Australians with permanent and significant disabilities. Jobs in this sector include disability support workers, personal carers, plan managers, allied health professionals, administrative staff, and support coordinators — all essential to helping participants live more independently and with greater choice and control.
In Gippsland, NDIS job opportunities are available in towns like Traralgon, Sale, Morwell, Warragul, Bairnsdale, Moe, and beyond. These roles are offered by registered NDIS providers, including not-for-profits, private support agencies, and community health organisations. Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time, or casual work, NDIS jobs offer strong job security, flexibility, and the chance to build a career in a growing and respected field.
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government initiative that funds personalised support for people with a disability, their families, and carers. The NDIS aims to help participants achieve their goals — whether that’s improved mobility, independent living, getting involved in the community, or finding employment. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the scheme provides individualised funding that participants can use to access the services they choose.
These services are delivered by thousands of providers across the country, including many based in Gippsland. The scheme is managed by the NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency), which oversees funding, eligibility, and provider registration. NDIS jobs are not directly with the NDIA, but with the many local organisations and support workers who help deliver services every day.
