Housing Support Worker jobs

Through Housing Service Centres across Queensland, HSC staff are our main contact points with customers. They connect them to information, options and support services to meet their housing needs.

HSC staff work with customers to develop a plan that empowers them to improve their whole-of-life wellbeing and achieve safe, secure and sustainable housing.
