Can the NDIS help me get a job?

Yes. The NDIS funds employment supports that aren't covered by employers or employment services - the disability-related supports that make work possible.

That can include:

  • Building job skills and workplace confidence (through Capacity Building funding)
  • Support to transition from school to work
  • Transport to and from work where your disability means you can't use public transport
  • Equipment you need, like wheelchairs or hearing aids

Employment is one of the strongest goals you can put in your plan, it tends to unlock meaningful funding. If work is on your horizon, make it a stated goal at your planning meeting.
