What is Employment Support under NDIS?
Do you have a disability? Are you aspiring to have a career, learn new skills or be in an employment that makes you independent?
Achieving your employment goals is never too difficult with the right support.
​
When it comes to employment, every Individual has different goals and have full right to choose the work they prefer. NDIS provides you total flexibility by offering you the choice and control, allowing you to choose a support provider that can assist you with Finding and Keeping a Job.
So, what does it look like when it comes to supports that can be funded within your NDIS plan, to achieve your work-related goals in life.
​
NDIS funding can help you with things such as –
​
Assistance in overcoming employment barriers;
​
counselling to successfully engage in employment;
​
workplace assessments;
​
resume writing assistance; and
​
support before and during a job interview.
