NDIS Disability Employment Services in Perth
What are NDIS disability employment services?
NDIS employment services are funded supports that help participants reach their work-related goals. These supports sit under the Improved Living Arrangements and Finding and Keeping a Job categories in your NDIS plan.
They cover a broad range of assistance: from resume writing and interview preparation right through to on-the-job coaching and long-term workplace support. The key difference between NDIS employment assistance and general disability support is the focus. Employment support is entirely centred on helping you find, secure, and maintain a job that genuinely suits you.
It is worth noting that NDIS employment support is separate from the Australian Government’s Disability Employment Services (DES) programme. Both can work together, depending on your individual circumstances and plan goals. Your support coordinator can help you understand how each applies to your situation.
Key Benefits of NDIS Employment Support
Work changes lives. It is not just about income. It is about identity, routine, connection, and purpose. The right NDIS employment support helps you
- Build financial independence and reduce reliance on support payments
- Develop confidence in your own abilities and communication
- Connect with colleagues and be part of a community
- Establish a structured routine that supports your wellbeing
- Grow a long-term career, not just get a job
These outcomes carry beyond the workplace. They support your ability to take part in everyday life, access the community, and live more independently. Many of our participants also benefit from linking their employment goals with supports like community participation, which helps build social confidence alongside work skills.
Our NDIS Employment Support Services in Perth
Achieve Disability Care provides a range of NDIS employment services tailored to your specific goals. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. We listen first.
Job Readiness Training
Before you search for work, you need to feel ready. Our team helps you build a strong resume that reflects your actual strengths. We also work through mock interviews so that answering questions under pressure feels familiar, not frightening. Job readiness is the foundation.
Job Search and Placement Support
Finding the right role takes time and local knowledge. We draw on our network of Perth employers to connect you with NDIS employment opportunities that genuinely match your goals and capabilities. We don't just send applications. We work with you to identify roles where you can thrive.
Workplace Support and Adjustments
Starting a new job is a big step. Our support workers can accompany you during your initial weeks, providing on-the-job assistance until you feel settled. We also work with employers to arrange reasonable workplace adjustments, whether that is a modified schedule, a quieter workspace, or adapted equipment.
Depending on your situation, we can also coordinate with your Assist Personal Activities and Assist Travel and Transport supports to make getting to and from work as smooth as possible.
Skill Development Programs
Strong employment outcomes rely on more than technical skills. Our programmes build the practical competencies that employers value most:
- Workplace communication and professional behaviour
- Time management and punctuality
- Task organisation and following instructions
- Managing workplace relationships and social expectations
Ongoing Employment Support and SLES
For school leavers, we offer SLES (School Leaver Employment Supports). SLES NDIS funding is designed specifically for young people transitioning from school into employment or further training. It provides up to two years of focused support to help develop work readiness before moving into the workforce.
For all participants, our ongoing employment support continues well beyond placement. We check in regularly, address challenges as they arise, and help you adjust your support as your confidence and capability grow.
Who Can Benefit from NDIS Employment Assistance?
Our employment services support a wide range of participants. You may benefit from our support if you are
- Looking for your first job and unsure where to start
- Returning to work after a break due to your disability or health
- Currently employed but struggling without the right workplace support
- A school leaver building work skills through the SLES NDIS programme
- Someone who wants to try supported employment in a structured environment
Whether your goal is part-time casual work or a long-term career, we build a plan around where you are right now.
Who Is Eligible for NDIS Employment Support?
To access NDIS employment services, you need to be an NDIS participant with relevant goals included in your plan. Specifically, your plan needs to include funding under the capacity-building support category, with goals related to finding or maintaining employment.
If employment is important to you but it is not yet reflected in your current plan, speak with your support coordinator or plan manager. Goals can be added or updated at your next plan review. You can also read our NDIS Complete Guide for a clear overview of how NDIS planning and funding works.
NDIS participants aged 15 and over may be eligible for employment-related supports. For school leavers aged 18 to 24, SLES is a specific and time-limited support category worth discussing with your planner early.
