Assist Access Maintain Employment

Assist Access Maintain Employment

Individuals and groups who receive workplace assistance can utilise professional networks to locate and contact employers. The Assist Access/Maintain Employee program will help employees maintain their jobs after they have obtained them.

Participants who had secured a job before enrolling in the NDIS are also eligible for support. Commonwealth Quality and Safeguards apply to some forms of support (for example, the National Standards for Disability Services certification obtained through the Human Services Scheme); it ultimately depends on the jurisdiction.

NDIS can also access employment support to learn critical skills for thriving in the modern economy. These skills include resume writing and interviewing.

Furthermore, participants get aided in setting employment and career goals and achieving them. As much employer support as possible will also be encouraged in this area, with on-site training and other programs to assist employees in reaching their full potential.

NDIS – What does it mean?2024-08-24T08:25:17+10:00

National Disability Insurance Scheme.

National: The NDIS is being introduced progressively across all states and territories.

Disability: The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disability or children with developmental delay.

Insurance: The NDIS gives all Australians peace of mind if they, their child or loved one is born with or acquires a permanent and significant disability, they will get the support they need.

Scheme: The NDIS is not a welfare system. The NDIS is designed to help people get the support they need so their skills and independence improve over time.

There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will provide more than $22 billion in funding a year to an estimated 500,000 Australians who have permanent and significant disability. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.

The NDIS can provide all people with disability with information and connections to services in their communities such as doctors, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as information about what support is provided by each state and territory government

Applying to the NDIS is how you let us know you want to become an NDIS participant.

If you’re aged 7 and older, there are a few ways you can apply:

NDIS Code of Conduct2024-08-24T08:23:00+10:00

  • provide supports and services in a safe and competent manner with care and skill

What is Disability2024-08-24T08:19:38+10:00

Disability is when a significant impairment affects an individual.

It includes physical, intellectual, psychiatric, sensory, neurological and learning disabilities according to Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cwlth).

Disability can be permanent or temporary, visible or invisible. Some conditions and impairments are present from birth. Other people acquire or develop disability during their lifetime from an accident, condition, illness or injury.

For some people, support requirements can increase over time. Others can experience fluctuating or episodic disability. Some people may have multiple disabilities, giving rise to different support requirements.
