In 2024, 50,000 more NDIS participants are anticipated to require support from an additional 83,000 industry workers, adding to the current 450,000 NDIS participants and 270,000 industry workers.
Executive manager, resources Shannon Walker said the event is designed to bring ease and personality to the recruitment process.
“The demand for support workers across our services is ongoing, and this event is a fun way to provide information on employment opportunities, answer any questions job seekers may have and facilitate a warm and friendly environment for speed interviews,” she said.
The event aims to draw new and experienced individuals to Vivid’s disability support service and identify the appropriate candidates.
It will be an opportunity to meet the Vivid team, and if choosing to be interviewed for current job vacancies, attendees will rotate between different interviewers when being interviewed.

Nathaneal Smith, a support worker with Vivid working in the Upbicycle Bike Restoration program for over 14 years, decided to enter the industry after receiving support after an accident and said it was the best decision for him.
“I started with Vivid with no industry experience, and now I’m running the bike shop, and supporting the guys is the best of both worlds for me,” he said.
“There is so much variety in what I do ‒ it’s my dream job, and I couldn’t think of doing anything else.”
The event will be held on Wednesday, February 28, at Vivid on 461 High St, Echuca, from 5pm until 6.30pm.
