Maintaining Employment

This workplace assistance is designed to help individuals and/or groups of individuals find jobs, making use of professional networks to locate and communicate with employers. Once jobs are obtained, Assist Access/Maintain Employ will help employees keep them.

The support is also available to individuals who secured their jobs prior to becoming NDIS participants. Support may be subject to Commonwealth Quality and Safeguards (for example, the National Standards for Disability Services certification, which is obtained through the Human Services Scheme); it depends ultimately on jurisdiction.

Along with helping NDIS participants find work, the employment support helps them develop critical skills necessary to thrive in the modern economy—for example, resume writing and interview skills, among others.
