Read about what it's like to work at Indigo from our experienced, professional people, in their own words:
Tanith, Schools Team Lead
I have the opportunity to work directly with individuals and schools in the metro and some regional areas to support the use of a range of communication aids. I also get to deliver training and work with our teams to help share our knowledge and skills and develop the approaches we use to get great outcomes for the people we work with.
Cassandra, Client Services Officer (CSO) - Equipment (Hire and Demo Equipment).
My role is very diverse and can be different from day to day. It involves checking, ordering, cleaning, and coordination of all the equipment coming in and out of the Nedlands Experience Centre. I like the variety and physical aspect of moving the equipment around, I am not just at the computer eight hours a day now.
Administration and Corporate Services
These members of our team are all diverse professionals who work in the background for the most part, and each one of our people completes essential actions to keep Indigo running smoothly. While you may not meet these people on your next visit to our Experience Centre in Nedlands, they wanted to share some of their thoughts and let you know they are here, working behind the scenes and helping to make your time with us go smoothly and easily.
Gertie, Quality Risk Professional
I love being part of an organisation dedicated and committed to enabling and empowering people to live their best life. My role is quite diverse and I have been lucky enough to work on initiatives to review and develop processes which guide and support our day to day business activities. Read more about Gertie.
Andrew, Team Lead, Indigo Driving Service
I really like assisting people with a physical, medical condition or disability to return to driving with vehicle modifications. I love being able to help people to continue to drive and maintain independence in their life, when they may have thought it was not possible. A diagnosis does not necessarily mean cessation of driving. Whilst maintaining a drivers’ licence is not possible for all, it brings me joy to see people to continue to drive and live an independent life when safe to do so.
