- National Police Clearance
- NDIS Worker Screening Check
- Working with Children Check
- A valid driver's licence

- Strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming clinical approach
- Strong written and verbal communication skills

- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a small team
What we offer
- Casual employed position with flexible scheduling
