NDIS Quality & Business Development Officer

Welcome to Lutheran Care. We are an energetic, forward thinking and values driven not for profit organisation, providing support to people who need it most.

Lutheran Care provides community services in South Australia and Northern Territory through a range of programs. We support communities through responding to the needs of individuals and families, community development, learning opportunities, accommodation and disability support. Current programs include emergency relief, financial counselling, family support and education, foster care, homelessness and housing and NDIS disability services. Lutheran Care is committed to reducing barriers encouraging inclusion and participation in the community of people all ages, genders, Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ) people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI), culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds and those with a disability.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers funding to people with a broad range of physical, intellectual and psychosocial impairments. Some of these people have complex challenges in their lives that reduce their capacity to utilise that funding in the best way possible. Elcies Disability Care (EDC) provides services to clients with a disability who are in receipt of an NDIS plan.

• Provide analysis, advice and operational policy in response to NDIS legislation updates.
• Conduct reviews to ensure ongoing compliance with NDIS registration requirements.
