Company Description
NDIS Division | Flexible Location | Join a Purpose‑Led National Organisation
Do you thrive at the intersection of quality, risk, safeguarding, and operational excellence? Are you energised by improving systems, strengthening governance, and empowering people to deliver safer, higher‑quality outcomes? If you’re ready to influence meaningful change across a large, diverse NDIS division — this is your next step.
Why This Role Matters
As a Senior Quality & Compliance Partner, you will be a key driver of how safeguarding, privacy, and compliance are understood, embedded, and lived across our brands. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we protect participants, support clinicians, and ensure the organisation meets its governance and regulatory obligations with confidence and integrity. Your insights will directly influence strategic decision‑making and uplift capability across the division.
This is not a traditional compliance role — it is dynamic, collaborative, people‑centred, and built on partnership rather than policing.
What’s In It for You
✨ A highly influential role at the operational–strategic interface
✨ The opportunity to shape governance practices across a national portfolio
✨ High exposure to senior leaders, regulators, and multi‑brand stakeholder groups
✨ A dynamic, people‑first workplace, guided by values of inclusion, collaboration and empathy
✨ Professional autonomy and room to innovate in how frameworks are implemented and improved
✨ Variety and challenge through audits, RFIs, safeguarding, privacy, and improvement projects
✨ Flexible working options to support a healthy and sustainable work life
✨ A meaningful mission: improving outcomes for participants, clinicians, and communities

- Influence continuous improvement of governance frameworks and contribute to strategic direction.
- Provide flexible coverage during periods of increased risk or transition to maintain stability.
Your work will have visible, division‑wide impact — supporting safer services, stronger governance, and better outcomes for participants and frontline teams.
