Everyday supports

Assistance to Access & Maintain Employment

Employment support covers both halves of the problem: getting the job, and staying in it. We support you through looking, applying and interviewing, and then keep supporting you in the workplace so a job becomes a career rather than a short stint.

How it's funded

Funded from Capacity Building – Finding and Keeping a Job, or Core Supports depending on the support type.

NDIS category

Registration group 0133 — Specialised Supported Employment, and assistance to access and maintain employment
