The Organisation
Fina Australia is proudly different. It is a non-government, profit-for-purpose provider of Supported Accommodation to people living with disability and/or given to complex behaviours.

Working at Fina is not for everyone. We understand that. However, if you are genuinely interested in a new, exciting and intelligent approach to disability support, we look forward to hearing from you.
