At AQA, our purpose is to resource people to live well, and that includes our staff. Recognising the critical importance of relationships in our work, we’ve built an organisational culture that’s inclusive, supportive and collaborative. Our staff come from all walks of life, and represent a broad range of ages, backgrounds and abilities. Below, you can explore the different ways working with us could look.
Delivering essential services to our clients in their homes and community, Support Work is rewarding and important work. Our Support Workers are trained in a range of high intensity and complex supports, and well supported by our office based staff. Positions open now – find out more Here
Lived experience informs everything we do and the insights of lived experience build understanding, reduce stigma and discrimination, and improve the quality and relevance of our services and activities. Furthermore, our rich lived experience allows space for valuable conversations, raises awareness, and influences public policies and debate.

AQA acknowledges that we live and work on lands stolen from the oldest continuous culture on earth. While our office is on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, we live and work on First Nations lands across Victoria. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and that this was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. We pay our deepest respect to Elders past and present, and we thank them for holding wisdom and caring for country. We also acknowledge that AQA’s work of building a more caring and inclusive society - where everyone has the resources they need to live well - follows in the footsteps of a long and ongoing struggle of First Nations peoples across the continent to be afforded the self determination, respect and resources they need to live well.
Disability doesn’t discriminate, so our community is as diverse as the richly diverse culture we exist in. Having the fullest version of ourselves on display, seen and appreciated, is a fundamental aspect of living a full and meaningful life. It is also the foundation from which the full benefit of our capacity building and empowering supports are accessed. Recognising this, we have developed an organisational culture where diversity is not just thoughtfully and respectfully accommodated, but truly celebrated - be it ethnicity, religion, ability, age, gender, sexuality or gender identity.
