Ongoing support to help you succeed
We’ll give you the best start in your new job and deliver ongoing support for at least 12 months. We can offer up to 52 weeks of post-placement support to help you maintain employment. We can assist you with the following:
- Settling into your role.
- Supporting you to communicate with your manager.
- Strategies to manage personal issues that could impact your work.
- Links to health, training and community supports.
- Assistance to access NDIS supports if applicable.
We tailor the level and type of ongoing job support to suit you and your new employer’s needs and circumstances.
