Are you passionate about creating life-changing housing opportunities for people with disability?

Access 2 Place (A2P) is a progressive, tenant-focused, not-for-profit community housing provider and one of Australia’s largest registered providers of NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).

Our vision is simple: Homes for life that empower people with disability.

As our housing portfolio continues to grow, we’re seeking an experienced and relationship-focused Housing Pathways Manager to lead tenant pathways into new SDA developments and support the successful delivery of our expanding housing program.

Reporting to the General Manager Disability Housing, the Housing Pathways Manager is a newly created strategic role responsible for coordinating the journey from early tenant engagement through to successful tenancy commencement for new housing developments and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) projects.

Working closely with the Project Development Team, Housing Officers, Support Coordinators, SIL providers, allied health professionals, guardians and other key stakeholders, you will support the successful delivery of new housing opportunities by ensuring tenant needs, housing pathways and transition requirements are considered throughout the development process.

This is an opportunity to influence housing outcomes, strengthen sector partnerships, support organisational growth, and help shape the future of specialist disability housing in South Australia.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Coordinating tenant pathways from referral through to tenancy commencement for new housing developments.
  • Leading pre-tenancy planning, tenant readiness and transition activities.
  • Developing and managing strategic tenant pipelines for upcoming housing opportunities.
  • Coordinating property matching and allocation processes for new SDA developments.
  • Reviewing participant housing needs, NDIS plans and funding pathways to support appropriate housing outcomes.
  • Building and maintaining productive relationships with Support Coordinators, SIL providers, allied health professionals, guardians and referral partners.
  • Supporting complex tenancy transitions through collaborative planning and stakeholder engagement.
  • Collaborating with the Project Development Team throughout the development lifecycle to support tenant-informed housing design, readiness planning and successful project delivery.
  • Monitoring referral activity, demand trends and pipeline performance to support occupancy optimisation.
  • Representing A2P across the disability and housing sectors to strengthen referral pathways and strategic partnerships.
  • Contributing to organisational growth through proactive pathway planning and stakeholder engagement.

You are an organised, proactive professional with experience working in the NDIS sector and a passion for improving outcomes for people with disability. Ideally, you have worked in Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Supported Independent Living (SIL), support coordination or a similar role.

You communicate confidently with a range of stakeholders, work well independently, and are comfortable making decisions in a dynamic environment. You enjoy learning, can interpret policies and legislation, and take ownership of your work to deliver positive outcomes for tenants and partners.

 

  • Meaningful work – Every day you’ll help create housing pathways that empower people with disability to live with choice, independence and dignity.
  • A supportive, collaborative team – Join a positive workplace culture where people genuinely enjoy working together and celebrate each other’s success.
  • Recognition that matters – We value and recognise the contributions of our people through a range of reward and recognition initiatives.
  • Flexible working arrangements – We understand the importance of work-life balance and offer flexibility to support our people.
  • Professional development – Ongoing learning, mentoring and career development opportunities to help you grow.
  • Salary packaging and competitive remuneration – Maximise your take-home pay while working for a purpose-driven organisation.
  • Be part of our growth – Play a key role in delivering new Specialist Disability Accommodation developments and shaping the future of disability housing across South Australia.

We’re looking for an experienced professional who understands both the disability and housing sectors and enjoys bringing people together to achieve outstanding housing outcomes for people with disability.

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

  • Experience in community housing, disability housing, tenancy management, housing pathways or a related field.
  • Strong knowledge of the NDIS, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and disability housing pathways.
  • An understanding of NDIS plans, funding arrangements and Positive Behaviour Support Plans.
  • Experience coordinating complex stakeholder relationships across the disability sector.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
  • Strong organisational and project coordination skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • The ability to interpret participant information to support appropriate housing matching and transitions.
  • High-level Microsoft Office skills and the ability to learn CRM systems.
  • Current South Australian Driver’s Licence.
