About us
We’re InLife. A not-for-profit Disability Support provider that specialises in working with people with frequent and complex support needs, including 24/7 assistance.
We build teams around every client, depending on each person’s needs and preferences. We partner with people with any type of disability who want to live independently in the community (and we love to make that happen!). That’s why our assistants are so important.
Our clients may have physical disability, acquired brain injury, neurological conditions, intellectual disability, or autism. We’re honoured that many of our clients rely solely on InLife for their essential support needs. Nobody else. Just us.

- Good judgement and common sense, listening skills, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to our values
- Enthusiasm and passion for supporting people with disabilities to live great lives
- Experience in personal care (showering and dressing) and assistance with domestic duties
- Experience supporting people with a physical disability including transfers/use of equipment and confidence in hoisting
- Experience supporting clients with community access
- Willing to put in time and energy to build rapport with your client
- Open to activities supporting clients with their hobbies; e.g. gardening, cooking
- Experience in mental health would be an advantage but not essential
- Full Australian driver's license and willing to client's vehicle (training provided)
- Commitment to working with a care team approach, including guidance from professionals. For example, supporting our clients to complete a regular physiotherapy program

Benefits

A word about diversity and inclusion
At InLife, diversity and inclusion are part of our DNA. We celebrate the amazing differences we all bring to our work and we actively ensure that everyone feels safe and supported in our workplaces.
We welcome and encourage applications from everyone and our hiring decisions will never be based on things such as your gender identity, disability, age, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or cultural background - because they simply aren’t relevant to doing an awesome job (and you are protected from this kind of discrimination under Australian law)
We also know that we continue to learn more about inclusion every day, so if there is something you think we could do differently to make InLife a place where you could picture yourself working, we’re all ears.
