- Relevant qualification and current professional registration, certification or membership for your discipline.
- Experience working with children with developmental needs and their families.
- Strong communication, consultation and relationship-building skills.
- Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary, family-centred team environment.
You'll stand out if you have experience in intake, triage, care coordination and/or quality improvement within child development, disability or community health services.
Above all, you'll bring Compassion, Integrity, Dignity, Innovation and Courage, helping deliver the right support at the right time for children and families across the Darling Downs.
