Why this employer
One genuine, specific reason you want this job at this company, not any company. Vague enthusiasm reads as a template that wasn't customised.

Re: Application for Disability Support Coordinator
I am applying for the Disability Support Coordinator role with [Company Name]. My background is in NDIS support coordination and casework, and I am drawn to work where a participant's goals, not a service's schedule, set the agenda.
In my current role I carry a caseload of participants across a range of disability and psychosocial needs. One participant had three providers who had stopped speaking to each other, and shifts were being missed most weeks. I mapped what each provider was actually funded to deliver, called a joint meeting, and rebuilt the schedule around the participant's own routine. Within two months the missed shifts had stopped and the plan finished with funding still available for a review. That is the part of the job I find most satisfying: careful coordination that keeps a plan honest.
I want to work with [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am looking for an organisation where support coordination is treated as skilled work rather than administration, and where participants and their families are part of the conversation.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to talk through how I would approach the role.
Getting it right
- Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
- Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
- Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
- Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
