One of the NDIS support categories that offers assistance to help people with disabilities find and keep employment is the “Finding and Keeping a Job” program.
The “Finding and Keeping a Job” program’s objective is to assist individuals with disabilities in locating and pursuing employment opportunities that fit their interests and skill sets. It can finance a variety of supports, including:
- Pre-employment assistance can include assisting you with the preparation of a resume and cover letter, the practise of interview skills, and the identification of job opportunities.
- On-the-job assistance: This can include assisting you with tasks such as job application completion, training and upskilling, or adjusting to new work environments.
- Assistive technology: We can advise you on funding for assistive technology or equipment that may be required to assist someone with a disability in performing their job duties, and we can help you get the ball rolling on what you require.
To be eligible for the “Finding and Keeping a Job” program, an individual must be registered with the NDIS and have an employment goal listed in their NDIS plan. The program is designed to be flexible and tailored to the individual’s needs and goals, so the specific supports and funding provided will vary depending on the person’s situation.
Because the program is intended to be flexible and tailored to the individual’s needs and goals, the specific supports and funding provided will differ depending on the individual’s situation.
