The Housing Hub was created in 2017 with a goal to support people with disability to find suitable and quality housing. Thousands of properties across Australia are currently listed on the Housing Hub website, making it easier for housing seekers to find the right home. Finding the right home can be a long and complicated process, so we've created an online community where housing seekers and housing providers work together to develop a market where people with disability enjoy choice and control.
Housing Hub staff are experts in the field. Joining the team is a great opportunity to work with like minded, creative people, experienced in NDIS Housing Options.
The team at the Housing Hub enjoy a hybrid work environment - going into the office for some much needed team time and working from home when you need. Remote working is also available with face to face participant work as required from time to time.
