NDIS Workplace assistance.
Workplace assistance is a support designed to build a career pathway and fulfil your career employment goals. It may be used in an open employment setting or with an Australian disability enterprise (ADE).
NDIS Supports in employment – Specialised supported employment.
Supports in employment are designed for employed people on the NDIS who are less independent in performing work tasks. They can also be used to fund additional coaching in the workplace, such as help to stay focused, assistance with communication or job customisation.
NDIS Employment-related assessment and counselling.
Employment-related assessment and counselling sits under the Capacity Building budget in an NDIS Plan. It’s designed to fund services that assist you to successfully engage in employment. For example, helping people who need significant support to return to work after a traumatic injury.
