NDIS

The interview, for my own position moving from Non-ongoing to On-going was set for failure. All participants were told after the interviews, by a director, that no-one interviewed well. This must surely reflect on the interview panel and the style of interview. I lost my position of 30 months, without ANY formal or written warning of poor results/work, to a system that than employed family members and people with no experience in the disability sector. 
I was the only person in the Remote and Rural LAC office based in Dubbo, with lived experience with a disability, the only person of Aboriginal heritage, the only person over 65.   

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping participants and the disabled 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management not communicating and over allocating work and expecting high results. Management do not listen when you explain to them you are reaching burn out due to workload 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Positive for the fact we help the disabled. Stressful and lonely as a team however. Don’t expect uplift or support from management 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
That is a broad question. Cannot answer simply

The pay is terrible and not in line with other organisations. They would rather lose an experienced applicant than pay them an extra $3k a year, which probably explains the caliber of many of the employees. Their communication is poor. They are constantly restructuring and pay only lip service to consultation. Their preference in management is for incompetent micromanagers, which seems to be for across all branches. The only competent director I had was consistently treated poorly by more senior management. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Trust worthy and flexible. I got five years experiences with NDIS provider company.
I

Excellent amazing work environment with multicultural.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very happy and positive feeling.

Working for NDIS means alot to the participants in the scheme, unfortunately we have an amount in a pool that at most times we need to remove certain funds that the participants have said or LAC's have made mention the participants need to live an ordinary life. It's awful to remove items from funding as the participants know what they require each and everyday to live an ordinary life.

I love working with my clients, it can be challenging work sometimes but its always worth it to see the improvements they make! The hardest part is sometimes encouraging the clients to get engaged in the work we are doing, as well as the inconsistency in shifts at times. It's an amazing place to learn patience and is a very rewarding job at the end of the day.

Most of my work was cancelled just before it was finished. It was exactly as asked for but the question changed before the answer was finished. People didn’t know quite what they wanted until you gave them what they asked for and they realised that was it. Very disorganised and disheartening.

Ndis was one of the most rewarding jobs I ever had. Working along side people with so much experience in the industry taught me so much about the lengths ndis is willing to take for those in need. It is a job that keep your heart full on a daily. I learnt so much and would always respect those in the industry for all their hard work.

Team orientation and culture.  
Great feeling of helping the vulnerable
Always changing and learning new things
Hardest part was saying "no" to the Participant  … they cannot have what they requested
