Specialised supported employment can assist participants who require ongoing or more intensive support to successfully participate in a work environment. The focus is on helping each person contribute their abilities, develop workplace skills and experience the benefits of meaningful employment.

Support can be personalised according to the participant’s employment goals and individual requirements. This may involve learning workplace routines, understanding tasks, improving communication, building confidence and receiving assistance to manage challenges that arise at work.

Ongoing workplace support can also help participants become more comfortable and capable in their role over time. As skills and confidence develop, assistance can be adjusted to encourage greater independence while continuing to provide appropriate support when required.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore meaningful employment. By focusing on strengths, abilities and individual aspirations, specialised employment support can help participants build skills, develop workplace relationships and work towards greater economic and social participation.
