The role will entail...
- Being responsible for managing an allocated caseload of NDIS participants across the lifespan and from varying sociocultural backgrounds, and completing therapeutic processes in a timely manner
- Undertaking comprehensive clinical interviews and assessments (using clinical observations and psychometric assessments), and interpreting findings to collaboratively determine and achieve intervention goals that align with NDIS plan goals
- Delivering person-centred and evidence-based tailored interventions with a systemic focus, which also includes delivery of therapeutic support and training to stakeholders.
- Monitoring, interpreting, reporting and addressing signs and symptoms of risk and acute distress that may arise during any therapeutic interventions
- Providing written reports to the NDIS Commission outlining progress reviews and ongoing areas of need
