See Behind Our Youth Disability Support Team
At Connecting Families, delivering exceptional youth disability services is rooted in the competence of our care team. We have established rigorous standards for assembling a team that is not only highly qualified but also passionately aligned with our community’s values and interests and understands the importance of supporting youths and children. This is done by:
Targeted Recruitment And Compatibility Matching
Our recruitment process goes beyond evaluating qualifications; it's about finding individuals with the same values and interests regarding the children and youth we support. This compatibility guarantees that we match suitable workers for quality and personalised support experience.
Pre-employment Checks
We uphold the highest standards of safety and professionalism through thorough pre-employment checks. This includes verifying skills and experience, ensuring all staff possess a valid Blue Card, a Working with Children Check, an NDIS Workers Screening check, a police check (within 6 months), a driver's licence, and vehicle insurance.
Required Qualifications
Ensuring our team is equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills relevant to the disability sector is crucial. A Cert 4 in Child, Youth and Family Intervention (Residential Care) is preferable for those working with children and youth. For those without this qualification, we can create a career pathway. Additionally, for those qualified workers in youth with disabilities, we look for workers with a Cert 3 in Disability Services or Community Services or a Diploma of Community Services.
Training
From a comprehensive induction process to regular ongoing training, we invest in our team's growth and development. This commitment ensures our staff remains at the forefront of best practices in youth disability services and is equipped to provide the highest level of care and support.

Shah Faisal
The excellent facilities and wonderful staff deserve immense gratitude for taking such good care of my old man. A special acknowledgment goes to Mr.Ali for his dedicated time and special attention.
Khizer Baloch
I just wanted to thank you for all the work you have done for Child Safety.
The way Connecting Families worked together has been hugely beneficial when transitioning young people out of the care of Child Safety.
By supporting children in care with NDIS funding and being able to support them in the same house when they turn 18 has made transition much smoother and less stressful for these young people.
We commonly see services supporting either children in care or adults with NDIS funding. If services do provide both then they are unlikely to work together and the young adult still has to move at 18.
Connecting Families unique way of working with children with NDIS funding ensures a better outcome for children exiting Child Safety and less stress for the care team.

Julie
For the first time since Ben has resided in any supported accommodation, l can finally say, I’ve done the right thing.
It’s taken a long time to get to that point & to see him so happy & achieving so much in such a short time since moving in, l feel a lot of the guilt I’ve been carrying is finally subsiding.
Thank you to all of you for everything you’ve done to ease that burden I’ve carried for so many years.
Ben is finally ‘home’.
