How the NDIS Can Help You Find & Keep a Fulfilling Job

For many participants of the NDIS, finding and keeping a job is a significant milestone. After all, steady and fulfilling employment fosters independence, self-esteem, and financial stability. This is why the NDIS is dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities to achieve their employment goals through a range of supports tailored to their unique needs.

At The Personnel Group, we specialise in providing NDIS employment support services that help participants in finding the right job and maintain it long-term. In this guide, we’ll explore how the NDIS can support you on your employment journey and how we can step in to help you find and maintain the perfect job for you.

NDIS Funding for Employment Support

Did you know that you can get support from the NDIS for finding and keeping a job? Whether you’re looking to enter the workforce for the first time or just need a bit of help in your current role, there’s support available, such as:

Job Training & Skills Development

You can use your NDIS funding to join training programs that help participants develop job-specific skills or improve existing ones. These can include anything from resume writing to learning new software or gaining practical experience within a specific sector.

Workplace Assistance

If you’re already working, the NDIS can fund ongoing workplace support, such as mentoring, adaptive equipment, or communication aids, to ensure that you can perform your roles effectively and comfortably.

Career Planning and Support

The NDIS can also provide funding for career counselling or planning services, which allows participants such as yourself to explore potential career paths, set goals, and develop strategies to achieve them.

As one of the top providers of NDIS employment support in Australia, we at The Personnel Group work collaboratively with NDIS participants to create tailored employment plans based on their individual strengths, interests, and goals.

How to Maintain Your Employment with NDIS Support

Once you’ve secured a job, the next thing you need to focus on is maintaining or keeping it. Below are a couple of strategies you can follow to thrive in your new role:

Continuously Updating Your Skills

The workplace is always changing, and keeping your skills updated is vital. The NDIS can support you in accessing ongoing training, which can include learning new technological processes or gaining additional work qualifications.

Adapting the Workplace to Your Needs

Sometimes, a few adjustments in the workplace can make all the difference. The NDIS can help cover the cost of things like ergonomic chairs, assistive technology, or other modifications aimed at helping you carry out your job effectively.

Fostering Relationships in the Workplace

Having a strong support system at work makes the experience so much better. If you’re struggling with communication or social skills, the NDIS can provide support to help you build those relationships that are key to your long-term success.
