About us:
MiLife-Victoria is an organisation undergoing an exciting transformation to ensure every person we support has the opportunity to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
As part of this journey, we have transitioned from a traditional centre-based Day Service model to a Community-Based Service Model. The people we support participate in meaningful activities across a range of community settings, creating opportunities to develop independence, build natural relationships, and experience genuine community inclusion.
We are looking for passionate and values-driven people to help us continue building a culture where people with disability are empowered to achieve their goals, develop meaningful connections, and enjoy an active presence within their local communities.
About the Community-Based Assistance Program
Our Community-Based Assistance Program provides essential daily living support and supervision for people with severe and profound disabilities. These supports are fundamental to maintaining each person's safety, well-being, dignity, and quality of life.
What makes this program unique is that all supports are delivered within community rather than in a centre-based environment.
This approach enables people to receive the personal assistance they require while actively participating in everyday community life. Whether visiting local community centres, parks, and recreation facilities; participating in leisure activities; or developing social connections, our support workers play a vital role in helping people build meaningful and authentic community relationships.
