Help Change the World of Work for People with Disabilities
Ability Advocates Australia is a growing and purpose-driven organisation committed to creating opportunities for people with disabilities through disability services, allied health, advocacy, employment pathways, traineeships and inclusive workplace solutions.
As we continue to expand, we are seeking an experienced Scheduling & Service Coordinator to become a key operational member of our team.
This role is ideal for someone who loves creating order from complexity, enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in ensuring clients, staff and programs run smoothly every day.
The Opportunity
This is a critical operational role that sits at the heart of the organisation.
You will coordinate the flow of services from referral and intake through to scheduling, service delivery and invoicing readiness, ensuring clients receive timely, consistent and high-quality support.
Working across disability services, allied health programs, employment supports and traineeship initiatives, you will be responsible for maintaining efficient systems, accurate records and responsive scheduling processes that support both client outcomes and organisational performance.
No two days are the same. One moment you may be coordinating allied health appointments, the next you may be onboarding a new participant, resolving a scheduling conflict, supporting a traineeship program, or ensuring documentation is complete for service commencement.
