Job Description
About Us
Australian Healthcare Associates (AHA) is Australia's largest health and human services consultancy. We partner with Commonwealth and State governments to improve health and social outcomes for Australians.
Our portfolio of projects includes engagements of national importance, including evaluation and review projects, research and analysis, and outsourced program administration. All work is carried out to the highest industry standards.
AHA’s story is all about its people. We are a high-performing team of valued, talented, diverse individuals who pull together with the shared goal of consistently delivering great outcomes. We invest in people and enjoy industry-leading conditions and low staff turnover.
The Role
On behalf of the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), AHA's team of data collection officers will work with National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants to collect data that will help the NDIA measure the impact of the NDIS on its participants and inform quality improvements to the scheme.
