Common questions
In Australia, a full time disability team leader generally earns $1,600 per week ($83,200 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.

While there isn't clear data on specific disability team leader positions, aged and disability support worker jobs have grown strongly in recent years and are expected to continue to do so. As of May 2019, there were approximately 177,000 aged and disabled carer jobs in Australia. That number could potentially rise to 222,000 in 2024. Some reports indicate the possibility of about 35,800 job openings per year over that span.

Disability team leaders often need to earn more advanced qualifications and/or have more experience in the support industry than other disability team workers. This position will often require a Certificate IV in Disability. This qualification can take around 12 months to complete depending on study mode (online, on campus or a blend of both) and whether you are studying full or part time. Enrollees must also fulfil a work placement requirement to complete this certificate. Qualifications in Individual Support or other support studies that specialise in Aged and Disability Support can be helpful, though each disability team leader role will have different requirements.
