Welcoming Future Support Workers

Down arrow
Tasmanian Disability Support Provider Nexus Inc providing pathways to students looking to start their careers in Support Work through Student Work Placements in Tasmania, including in Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie.

We love seeing Nexus be a stepping stone for young people looking to start their career in support work.

In 2025, we welcomed over 25 students for work placements—each with a unique story of discovering purpose and passion in the disability sector!

Late last year, Logan, a Year 12 student from Devonport High School, completed a 10-day placement with Nexus spread over 10 weeks.

Logan was eager to learn what a typical day as a Support Worker looks like and whether it was the right fit for her future.

Our North West team created a tailored roster that gave Logan the chance to quickly gain hands-on experience.

“I really want to help people in need. I wanted to do a placement in a disability organisation to make a direct impact on people’s lives and contribute to a more inclusive community,” Logan said.

“It was a truly amazing experience for her, and I wish we could have 100 more students like Logan come to Nexus!” Kylie said.

Fast forward to the end of her placement and Logan has found both her purpose and a new role at Nexus – welcome to the team, Logan
