There are many steps on the journey to achieving your career goals. NDIS employment supports can assist with the entire process, from preparing for work, to starting a job, staying employed and making your next career move.
NDIS employment supports include:
1. Core – Supports in Employment: Cover the type of assistance that a support worker is likely to provide related to participating in work or in the workplace.
