APS6 Support Needs Assessor | Federal Government

  • Location: Canberra, ACT
  • Work Type: Contract (Full-Time preferred; Part-Time 3-4 days considered)
  • Hourly Rate: $61.85 per hour + super
  • Contract Length: Initial contract starting Monday, 13 July 2026 (6 Months + Extension Possibility)

MUST BE AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN TO APPLY.

Are you an Allied Health, Nursing, or Education professional looking for a rewarding, non-clinical government role with zero funding-decision making required? This is it.

We are looking for empathetic, agile, and high-performing professionals in Canberra to join a massive, national federal testing program.

As a Support Needs Assessor, you will use your background to conduct comprehensive, semi-structured interviews with program participants. Your mission is to gather information, understand their unique circumstances, and write high-quality, strengths-based reports mapping out their functional needs.

The Best Part? You do not make any funding, budget, or support hour decisions. Another dedicated team handles the financials, allowing you to focus entirely on delivering a supportive, trauma-informed assessment experience.

Why You'll Love This Role

  • Lucrative Pay: $61.85/hr + super.
  • True Hybrid Flexibility: Work primarily from home with occasional visits to the local Canberra office for face-to-face assessments.
  • No AHPRA / Professional Registration Required: Your qualified background and experience are what matter-active registration is not mandatory.
  • World-Class Training: Receive a robust, 3-week fully paid structured training and accreditation program to master the assessment tools before you begin.
  • Incredible Culture: Join a collaborative team structured around staff wellbeing, featuring "green rooms" for Q&A, peer coaching, and strong mentorship.

What We Are Looking For

To be successful in this bulk-recruitment round, you must bring a blend of the following qualifications and core skills:

Eligible Backgrounds (One of the following is required):

  • Allied Health / Clinical: Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology, Social Work, Dietetics, Exercise Physiology, Counselling, Psychotherapy, or Rehabilitation Counselling.
  • Nursing: Registered Nurses (RN) or Enrolled Nurses (EN).
  • Education: Professionals holding a tertiary Education degree.
  • Specialist: Registered NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioners.
  • Note: Students part-way through these qualifications who possess significant, recent assessment experience may also be considered!

Key Experience & Skills:

  • Proven experience conducting support needs assessments or utilizing person-centered, strengths-based frameworks.
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to navigate complex, sensitive, and trauma-informed conversations.
  • Strong critical thinking and analytical writing skills to produce defensible, clear documentation.
  • Digital literacy to comfortably navigate CRM case management systems and conduct video meetings (MS Teams).

REMINDER: YOU MUST BE AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN TO APPLY.
