Or, if you are committed to working with us - follow the very important ‘Your next steps’ below.

Once you have completed the ‘next steps’ you can apply for a role below by completing our ‘application form’.

Note- you must be able to commit to at least 20 hours per week to be eligible to work with us

Fill out our application form once you have completed the ‘next steps’ below, we will be in touch soon!

Your next steps:

1. If you haven’t got one already apply for an NDIS Worker Clearance check via this link: NDIS Worker Screening Check | Victorian Government (www.vic.gov.au)- once you get online and do the check they will notify us and we will authorise it. The check costs $121.10. 

You are required to select the provider you wish to work for: Victorian Specialist Support Services, our provider I.D is 4-F1RPH3N

2. Complete the mandatory training listed below.

3. Complete our application form once you have completed your checks and mandatory training. Be sure to upload all of your information and certificates.

4. We will contact you for an interview once we receive all of your information and your NDIS Worker Screening Check is cleared.

Allow plenty of time and patience, the online system can be a little testy. If you don’t have any luck online, you can submit your application manually but that takes longer to approve. If you submit a manual application, please let us know.  If you already have the check just let us know and we will look you up in our system. 

If you haven’t got a current Working with Children’s Check (WWCC) you will also need to apply for one via this link Home | Working with Children, the fee for the WWCC can be waived after you get your NDIS Worker Clearance check – more information can be found here: NDIS Worker Screening Check | Victorian Government (www.vic.gov.au)
