Specialised Supported Employment

Reach your potential in the workforce with compassionate, practical guidance every step.

Get Hired, Stay Hired, Thrive Hired

Specialised Supported Employment is an NDIS-funded service designed to assist people with disabilities in accessing and maintaining meaningful work opportunities. This support is tailored for individuals who require extra help due to significant barriers to open employment. 

The service focuses on building skills, confidence, and independence in the workplace, while providing ongoing guidance and adjustments as needed. By fostering inclusion and empowerment, Specialised Supported Employment enables participants to achieve their employment goals and actively contribute to their communities.

What Is This Service?

This service is ideal for individuals who are looking to find a job or explore volunteer opportunities that match their interests and abilities. It’s also perfect for those who need support in developing essential work-readiness skills such as communication, time management, and workplace etiquette. If you require hands-on assistance, mentoring, or coaching while on the job, we provide tailored support to help you succeed and grow in your role. Additionally, we help young people transition smoothly from school or training programs into meaningful employment pathways, ensuring they're well-prepared and confident for the next chapter in their career journey.
