A self-determined life, with a sustained support network of family and friends who know you well.

We’re hiring, but we’re not just looking for a CV.
We’re looking for people who are curious. People who can listen before assuming.
People who understand that behaviour is information, communication happens in many different ways, and a person should never have to earn their right to dignity, choice or belonging.
People who are prepared to reflect on their own practice and keep asking:“Is there a better way?”
At Microboards Australia, our work is grounded in relationships, human rights, quality of life and supporting people to have greater choice and control over their own lives.
If that sounds like the kind of place where you could do meaningful work, we’re currently hiring.💚

Testimonials from some of our service users

Wow, after watching the microboards early years info session.. it looks like such a great support system to have in place.

I'm really looking forward to learning more and having a microboard set up for my son.

Couldn't come at a better time.

I would like to thank Jaquie for all the amazing work she has done - she continues to be a huge inspiration to others. I know I wouldn’t be here today without her leadership.

I told Jacqui I’d been looking for a solution for my daughter’s ongoing care for the last 8-10 years; I was introduced to the idea of “Circles of Support” by a church friend and most parents I speak to haven’t even heard about that. So I consider myself to be a little ‘ahead of the pack’ but on Friday I realised my vista was only a drop in the ocean. I was so excited by Jacqui’s talk, especially that the few strategies presented are actually achievable - from admittedly, my naive point of view!

I did training a couple of years ago and I'm still talking about it.

I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed a course more than this one!
