**About us**
We're InLife. A not-for-profit disability support provider that specialises in working with people with frequent and complex support needs, including 24/7 assistance.
We build teams around every client, depending on each person's needs and preferences. We partner with people with any type of disability who want to live independently in the community (and we love to make that happen). That's why our assistants are so important.
Our clients may have physical disability, acquired brain injury, neurological conditions, intellectual disability or autism. We're honoured that many of our clients rely solely on InLife for their essential support needs. Nobody else. Just us.
Our teams are based in Melbourne, Geelong and regional Victoria, including Benalla, Wangaratta, Stawell and Bendigo.

Based on the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination (Workers) Directions that came into effect recently, InLife are required to collect, record and hold vaccination information about you. You will need to be fully vaccinated, which for the disability sector will mean 3 doses or hold a relevant medical exemption to work with us. More detail is available on our website.
