Exploring Career Opportunities in the NDIS Sector in 2026

Let’s be honest finding a job that pays the bills and leaves you feeling good at the end of the day is rare. But as we settle into 2026, the disability sector in Australia is proving to be one of the few places where you can actually find both. 
 

If you’ve been thinking about a change, or you’re just starting out, exploring NDIS jobs Australia wide is probably the smartest move you can make right now. The sector is buzzing, and the demand for genuine, passionate people has never been higher. 
 

More Than Just a Job 

When people hear about NDIS careers, they often think it’s just one type of role. But the reality is much bigger. NDIS employment has evolved massive amounts over the last few years. It’s not just about personal care anymore; it’s about capacity building, helping people get out into the community, and the behind-the-scenes work that makes it all happen. 
 

Whether you are looking for aged care jobs or focused specifically on the disability sector, the variety is huge. You could be working in a fast-paced HR role in Brisbane one day, or helping someone achieve their life goals in Campbelltown the next. 
 

What Roles Are Actually Out There? 

If you start a NDIS job search today, you might be surprised by the mix of NDIS positions popping up. Here is a taste of what we are seeing right now on our own board: 
 

• The Heart of the Sector: Disability support worker jobs are still the most in-demand roles. We’re seeing providers like Blue Wing Care Professionals and Maweja Super Care actively looking for people to help participants live with dignity and independence. 
• The Organisers: If you are good at juggling tasks and love seeing a plan come together, you might be perfect as an NDIS support coordinator. Companies like Care Agency Services often look for people to join their NDIS support coordination teams to help participants navigate their complex plans. 
• The Hybrids: We are seeing more NDIS support worker jobs that cross over into other areas. For example, some roles are now advertised as "Disability and Aged Care Support Workers," giving you the chance to broaden your skills across two booming industries. 
• The Leaders: It takes a lot of work to run these organisations. There are opportunities for HR Managers and operational staff who provide the vital NDIS employment support that keeps these businesses running. 
   

Let’s Talk Money 

It is the question everyone wants to ask but is often afraid to: what's the hourly rate for a private ndis support worker? 
 

It’s a fair question! While it depends on your experience and who you work for, the pay is solid. Looking at the NDIS support worker roles currently live on MySolas, we are seeing rates starting around $33 and climbing up to $40+ per hour, with some roles offering even higher rates for casual loading or specialist shifts. 
 

It’s competitive, and for many people, the flexibility of shift work is a massive bonus. 

Finding Your Fit 

We know that trawling through generic job sites can be exhausting. You end up applying for NDIS jobs alongside thousands of others, often for companies you know nothing about. 
 

That’s why we built the MySolas career section. We want to connect you directly with the providers. Whether you are hunting for casual disability support worker jobs or a full-time coordinator role, you can see exactly who you are applying to. 
 

The sector needs people who care. If that sounds like you, your new team is probably looking for you right now.
