Prospective Staff

Thank you for your interest in working with YR SPACE.

YR SPACE is committed to recruiting staff who align with our values, safeguarding responsibilities, and person-centred approach to participant supports. As part of our Orientation and Induction Process, please review and complete the steps outlined below.

If you require any assistance accessing this information or completing any requirements, please contact the YR SPACE team.

STEP ONE: APPLICATION & INTERVIEW PROCESS

Contact and meet with YR SPACE Program Management. Further information regarding current opportunities can be found in the ‘Join Our Team’ section of the website.

STEP TWO: NDIS WORKER SCREENING CHECK

An NDIS Worker Screening Check is a national background screening process used to assess whether a worker may pose a risk to people with disability. All YR SPACE staff working in risk-assessed roles are required to hold a valid NDIS Worker Screening Clearance and a current Working with Children Check (WWCC).

Victoria operates under a “No Clearance, No Start” approach, meaning workers cannot commence employment in relevant roles without a valid NDIS Worker Screening Clearance.

Applications for an NDIS Worker Screening Check can be completed online through Service Victoria.

You will require:

• Employer details: Yarra Ranges SDS – Employer ID: 4-4331-1698

• Original identification documents

• A smartphone or compatible device for identity verification

If you require assistance completing your NDIS Worker Screening Check, please contact the YR SPACE team.
