Disability Support Workers | Part-Time & Casual
Alexandra Disability Services
At Aruma, we support people with disabilities to live great lives. It’s the reason we exist – after all, why should anyone have to settle for anything less? And to make this a reality, we rely on the skill and commitment of our Aruma team.

So who is Aruma?
We’re glad you asked! Aruma is a new name in disability services, but we’re definitely not the new kids on the block. You might remember us as House with No Steps and The Tipping Foundation, two great organisations, with over 100 years of combined experience, who came together in 2018. Find out more about us at aruma.com.au.
When you’re part of the Aruma team, you’re not just supporting people. We’re all about putting the people we support first. That’s a non-negotiable.
Our success depends on YOU.
