About

Flow Support is inviting expressions of interest from a compassionate, ethical, and adaptable Contractor Counsellor to join our expanding multidisciplinary team. This unique role offers the opportunity to work across both:

• NDIS-funded counselling with a focus on capacity building under the Improved Daily Living domain
  
  

• Private counselling, supporting individuals seeking therapeutic support for personal growth, wellbeing, or recovery

In the NDIS stream, this is not a traditional or open-ended therapy role. Counselling is delivered within the NDIS scope of practice, focused on helping participants build practical skills such as emotional regulation, communication, self-awareness, coping strategies, and functional independence — all aligned with their NDIS goals.

You do not need prior NDIS experience — we provide training, tools, and ongoing support to help you navigate the NDIS framework with confidence and clarity.

Responsibilities

• Provide capacity-building counselling to NDIS participants, focused on functional and emotional development

• Deliver private counselling sessions tailored to each client’s goals and presenting needs

• Collaborate professionally with participants, support coordinators, and, where appropriate, families and stakeholders

• Maintain clear and accurate documentation aligned with NDIS and clinical standards

• Uphold ethical, trauma-informed, and person-centred practices

• Engage in optional supervision and peer connection opportunities

• Offer face-to-face support locally and remote support nationally

Requirements

We’re seeking a counsellor who is aligned with Flow Support’s values and committed to delivering ethical, outcome-focused support. You’ll thrive here if you enjoy working autonomously while still being part of a connected, supportive team.

You’ll need:

• A Diploma in Counselling (Bachelor’s preferred)

• Registration with ACA, PACFA, or other recognised Australian counselling body

• Experience or strong interest in working with individuals with psychosocial disability or complex mental health

• A recovery-focused approach with strong professional boundaries

• Confidence delivering both NDIS-aligned capacity-building counselling and traditional therapy to private clients

• ABN and professional indemnity/public liability insurance

• Basic tech literacy (email, secure documentation, telehealth platforms)

• A valid driver’s licence and insured, reliable vehicle for local face-to-face sessions

Note: While prior NDIS experience is beneficial, it is not essential. We support you with onboarding and tools to work within the NDIS framework confidently.

What We Offer

• $70–$90 per hour contractor rate, depending on experience and caseload

• A steady flow of NDIS and private client referrals

• Admin and intake support — so you can focus on delivering sessions, not backend admin

• Access to a company email and secure Google Drive

• Flexible hours and autonomy over your schedule and caseload

• Training and onboarding to support alignment with NDIS documentation and scope

• Optional supervision and opportunities to connect with likeminded professionals

• A collaborative, inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly team culture
