Disability Support Worker

and quot;We know that poorer access to services contributes to poorer health outcomes for rural and remote Australians. As country people, we are, on average, older, sicker and poorer than our city cousins. In a land as wealthy as ours, that is just not good enough. We have to do better. and quot; Chair of the National Rural Health Alliance, Tanya Lehmann

Our client is a leader in providing care to rural and regional Victorians living with disabilities, keeping all participants active and doing what they love.
