Based on the Mornington Peninsula, with offices in the Casey area and the outer Eastern suburbs, Mentis Assist provides support for people with diagnosed and enduring mental illness.
We have an exciting opportunity for a full time NDIS Support Coordinator to join our dynamic, growing team on the Mornington Peninsula.

The ability to think innovatively and creatively to help clients achieve their NDIS plan goals is also required.
