Employment Support Through the NDIS

If work is one of your goals, your NDIS plan may include a Capacity Building – Finding and Keeping a Job budget. This can fund supports that help you prepare for work, find a job, and keep it once you start. Some participants also use Core supports for help getting to and taking part in work.

We work with you to understand your strengths and interests and to plan practical steps towards paid work, volunteering or further study. We can also work alongside government employment services and other providers you already use.

A Pathway That Works for You

Everyone's path to work is different. You might start with volunteering or work experience through our day program and school leavers program, build confidence through community participation, and then move into paid work. We'll go at your pace.

  • Open employment, supported employment, self-employment or micro-enterprise – we'll help you explore the options.
  • We can liaise with your employer, with your permission, about reasonable adjustments.
  • Supports can be coordinated with your support coordinator, school, TAFE or employment service.
  • School leavers may be eligible for School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) – ask us or your planner.

We can't guarantee a job outcome, but we will work with you to build the skills, confidence and connections that give you the best chance of finding and keeping work you enjoy.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NDIS Finding and Keeping a Job budget?

It's a Capacity Building budget in some NDIS plans that funds supports to help you prepare for, find and keep a job. What's included depends on your plan and the NDIA's decisions.

I don't have employment funding. Can you still help?

Possibly. Some work-readiness skills can be built through other supports, such as life skills development or community participation. If work is a goal, tell your planner so it can be considered at your next plan reassessment.

Do you work with Disability Employment Services or other job providers?

Yes. With your consent, we can work alongside government-funded employment services and other providers so your supports fit together.

Can you support me at my workplace?

Where it's appropriate and funded in your plan, and with your employer's agreement, a support worker can help you settle into your role and build independence on the job.
