Detail information about job NDIS Planners (APS 5 & APS 6). Terms and conditions vacancy

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is an independent statutory Commonwealth agency. Our role is to implement the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which will support a better life for hundreds of thousands of Australians with a significant and permanent disability and their families and carers. The NDIS will mean peace of mind for every Australian - for anyone who has, or might acquire, a disability. 

Working for the NDIA means you have the opportunity to contribute to building a new Commonwealth agency from the ground up. The NDIA is still growing and creating its own identity while developing new and innovative programs for our employees and the Australian community we serve.

The NDIA has a strong culture, driven by passion for the work we do and commitment to supporting people with disability to achieve greater independence. Our people are pioneering the management and delivery of the NDIS. We also aim to be world leaders in accessibility and inclusion, the employment of people with disability and people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The idea of people with disability being supported to live an ordinary life is central to the work of the NDIS. Through reasonable and necessary supports, the NDIS is helping people live a life with the basic opportunities many Australians take for granted.

We are now seeking to fill a range of expected or future ongoing and non-ongoing APS5 and APS6 Planner and Senior Planner roles in a range of sites across Victoria. Please review the position description for a more in depth list of sites with possible vacancies.

Our Planners are responsible for conducting planning conversations and risk assessments and making reasonable and necessary decisions in accordance with the NDIS Act 2013. The core elements of our Planner roles is to:

  • Gather information to make informed decisions within defined parameters
  • Work closely with participants to identify what current and future supports are required to make progress with a person’s goals and aspirations and enable better outcomes.
  • Provide information to participants and their representatives to identify their goals and aspirations
  • Conduct planning conversations with participants to create plans to support the goal of living an ordinary life

The complexity of each plan or conversation will vary, depending on your APS level of employment. For those engaged as Senior Planners, you will also have some supervisory or mentoring duties in addition to the above. For further specific information on each Planner role can be found in the below position descriptions. 

To join our team, you will:



  • have a positive contemporary attitude to people with disability along with an understanding and knowledge of disability and its impact on individuals
  • have adaptable communication and interpersonal skills
  • be able to manage confidential and sensitive information
  • be flexible and able to adapt to a changing environment
  • have high levels of integrity and professionalism to support our values and mission.

If these roles sound like the opportunity you are looking for, we want to hear from you! The NDIA provides a supportive work environment with access to great training and development opportunities and flexible working arrangements to meet your personal circumstances. You will be rewarded and recognised for your performance and have the satisfaction of knowing you work for an agency responsible for a world first disability service reform agenda.
