Employment Peer Support Project Officer (Support For Families)

The Project Officer will support families, parents, and carers of young (aged 0-8 years) First Nations children with newly identified disabilities or emerging developmental concerns, irrespective of whether they are eligible for a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) individually funded package.
This project will contribute to filling a significant and urgent gap in supports and services to First Nations families, parents, and carers of children with disabilities or developmental concerns in the NPY Lands, as the number of existing providers and services available are highly restricted and limited due to the geographical location, necessary expertise, networks, and community trust required in delivering this activity.
This project will support the Closing the Gap Target 4 – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children thrive in their early years.
It will also complement the National Early Childhood Program for Children.
About YouYou will have relevant tertiary qualifications and extensive experience in the field.
