Maxlife Care - Who we are
Maxlife Care is a doctor-led NDIS provider delivering clinically robust, person-centred care to clients with complex needs. With an in-house clinical team of GPs and nurses at our core, we are the only Supported Independent Living provider in NSW offering 24/7 access to medical care. We are scaling rapidly across NSW and our reputation for managing high-acuity, complex disability and behavioural supports is opening new referral pathways every week.
As we grow, we are investing in the community engagement and referral partnerships that connect our services with the clients who need them most. This is a role for someone who understands that the difference between a great NDIS provider and a growing one is the quality of the relationships behind it.

You will act as a key ambassador for Maxlife Care, building trusted relationships with Support Coordinators, Local Area Coordinators, hospital social workers, allied health professionals and community organisations.
You will report to the Head of Client Partnerships, with priorities agreed and reviewed regularly so your effort is concentrated on the relationships and growth activity with the greatest impact.
