Currently, people with disabilities have poor access to support services, with long wait times, low-quality services, and a lack of choice. Ascend Health Group’s innovative model is boosting access to desperately-needed support services while offering invaluable training and practical experience to university students studying health related degrees.
Therapy students typically graduate with limited experience of working with people with cognitive disabilities or how to treat patients in the home, resulting in poor job satisfaction and high dropout rates from therapy professions.
More than 50% of therapists seek a career change after only five years, and a recent Victorian study found the average career length for physiotherapists is seven years.

Be part of a team that is dedicated and enthusiastic about helping others. Our extensive training will ensure you're comfortable helping those that are most in need.
Our goal at Ascend Health Group is to help our members wherever possible to transition to a life of independence and community participation. This means that the work that support workers can do varies greatly because of the many different abilities and life situations of our members.
You might help with the everyday tasks around the home like cleaning, gardening, showering, toileting, cooking, or help with your daily living activities like dressing, grooming and eating. You might also help members with activities that allow a person to participate effectively in their environments, including meal preparation, transport to events or appointments, or helping with employment and volunteer activities for example.
