What Is NDIS Employment Support?

NDIS employment support provides eligible participants with targeted assistance to build core work readiness and pursue meaningful careers. Funded under Capacity Building – Finding and Keeping a Job (Category 10) or Core Supports, this service focuses on developing the practical capabilities you need to gain and retain employment.

Rather than applying a rigid checklist, we build our support around your individual strengths, vocational interests, and pace. We work alongside you to address personal barriers, establish manageable work habits, and coordinate with Disability Employment Services (DES) or inclusive employers when needed.

Our Pre-Employment & Work Readiness Services in Perth

We break the path to employment into clear, manageable steps:

1

Career Exploration & Strengths Discovery

We help you evaluate your vocational interests, identify existing talents, and explore viable job opportunities across diverse industries in Perth.

2

Resume & Application Preparation

Writing an application should clearly showcase your capabilities. We assist you with assembling your work history, tailoring your resume, drafting cover letters, and submitting online applications accurately.

3

Interview Coaching & Communication Training

Job interviews and professional settings require specific communication styles. We conduct structured practice interviews, develop responses to common questions, and build your confidence in self-advocacy and workplace etiquette.

4

Workplace Routines & Functional Skills

Succeeding at work depends on strong underlying habits. We work with you on time management, following multi-step instructions, using digital tools, and managing workplace stress.

5

Travel & Commute Planning

Getting to work reliably is critical for keeping a job. We help you plan public transit routes, practice your daily commute to your workplace, and establish consistent morning departure schedules.

6

Transitioning into the Workplace

Once you secure a role, we provide initial settling-in guidance to help you understand your shift duties, interact comfortably with coworkers, and establish positive work relationships. (For continuous, intensive on-site coaching, see our Specialised Employment Support).
