NDIS Funding Explained for Supported Employment

How NDIS Supports Your Employment Journey

NDIS funding is designed to help participants access the support they need to engage in meaningful work. For supported employment, this funding covers tailored assistance that enables participants to develop skills and maintain paid employment in real workplace settings.
Participants with plan-managed NDIS funding can allocate resources specifically for employment supports. This includes job coaching, workplace modifications, and ongoing assistance to ensure a successful and sustainable work experience.
