The AMS difference

Tailored support, rooted in purpose.

AMS is a disability support agency deeply committed to providing care tailored to each person’s unique journey. Our mission is to craft holistic, personalised plans that align with your goals and aspirations. With vast industry experience and a dedication to excellence, we deliver innovative solutions while upholding the highest standards of safety, respect and transparency.

How it all started

Founded in 2020 by a compassionate father-son duo and later joined by an experienced 'for purpose' sector leader, AMS was born to fill a critical gap in disability support services.

We recognised the need for a disability support agency offering services that embrace individuals with complex needs and challenging pasts, while valuing the vital role of frontline workers. This vision led us to pioneer a care model that is both empathetic and empowering.

Frequently asked questions

What is your recruitment process?
  • Application: Submit your application via SEEK.
  • Phone Screening: If shortlisted, you’ll be contacted for an initial phone screening.

  • Compliance and Reference Checks: After the interview, we’ll carry out all necessary compliance and reference checks.
  • Talent Pool: Once the process is complete, you’ll be added to our talent pool, where we’ll match you with future opportunities that align with your skills and interests.

A talent pool is a group of vetted candidates who have expressed interest in working with a company but haven’t been placed in a role yet. These candidates may have gone through interviews or screenings and are considered for future job openings. Maintaining a talent pool allows companies to quickly tap into a pool of qualified candidates when suitable roles become available, streamlining the recruitment process and ensuring there’s always a skilled candidate ready to fill upcoming positions.

We offer supported independent living, assistance with self-care and daily activities, community participation, social engagement, and capacity-building services.
