About the service
About Employment & Education Support under the NDIS
Employment and education support helps participants gain and keep open employment, or access education and training that leads toward work, help to find a job, on-the-job coaching, workplace assessments and adjustments, building work-readiness skills, and support to participate in study. For many people with disability, the barriers to work are about the right support and reasonable adjustments rather than ability.
Support is tailored to your journey, from building confidence and work-readiness to help with applications and interviews to on-the-job coaching that reduces as you settle in. It complements mainstream services such as Disability Employment Services, with the NDIS funding employment supports that relate to your disability and goals without duplicating those programs. When choosing a provider, look for genuine experience getting people with your type of disability into open employment, strong employer relationships, and a personalised approach focused on sustainable, meaningful work, both getting a job and keeping it.
