About Summer Foundation
Summer Foundation works to improve housing and living outcomes for Australians with disability who require access to 24/7 support.
More than 40,000 people with disability with high support needs still face limited housing and support options, often resulting in poor outcomes and lack of choice. We work to change this by identifying, developing and scaling practical, evidence-based solutions.
Working alongside partners, we combine research, lived experience and collaboration to design solutions that improve how people live and are supported.
Since 2006, we’ve helped more than 7,500 young people with disability avoid living in residential aged care, showing what’s possible when better solutions are delivered.
Our culture is inclusive, collaborative and purpose-driven, with a strong focus on innovation, evidence, and better outcomes for people with disability.

You enjoy helping people work better with technology. You’re approachable, curious, and take the time to understand how teams work so you can support them in practical ways.
You bring experience in workplace technology, but what really sets you apart is your ability to work with people. You can explain things clearly, guide others with confidence, and help teams feel capable using digital tools.
You are confident using AI tools in a workplace context and are interested in applying them to improve productivity and ways of working.
You’re proactive and improvement-focused. You don’t just respond to issues, you look for ways to make things simpler, more efficient, and more effective. Whether it’s improving a workflow, introducing a better way of working, or exploring automation or AI, you’re always thinking about how technology can add value.
Above all, you’re motivated by purpose and want to contribute to work that improves outcomes for people with disability.
