Employment is an important part of life and can help you have a sense of purpose and independence. If you have a disability, it can be harder to find a job than if you don’t. NDIS Employment Supports can be used to help you gain work experience in your chosen field or industry before applying for other jobs.

Employment supports
Some NDIS employment supports allow you to try out different jobs until you find something that is right for you. This means that after the trial period, you must meet with your employment provider and your support coordinator to decide if the job is a good fit for you.
If this is the case, then a new trial period will begin. You may need to do this several times until a suitable job has been found for you.
easier to apply for other jobs
It can give you the confidence to apply for other jobs.
Having NDIS employment can make it easier to apply for other jobs. This is because:
- You are already working in a job that is similar to the one you want to get. So, if an employer sees that you have experience in a similar role and did well at that job, they will be more likely to hire you. In addition, the employer may not have hired someone else who only has certain skills but no work experience in this field of work (e.g., accounting). The employer might think that maybe they should have looked harder when hiring, or perhaps there aren’t any suitable people available at all! This means there’s now less competition, which makes it easier for you!
- You’ve built up some skills and gained knowledge, which can help improve your chances of getting another job faster than someone who does not have any experience yet (e.g., learning about politics might mean having better verbal communication skills).
opportunity to improve your skills
- You will get the chance to learn new skills.
- You will be able to work with other people, which can help you improve your communication and teamwork skills.
- It’s a great way to make new friends.
- This is also an excellent opportunity for you to try out different jobs and determine which ones best suit you or pique your interest.
Working part-time
As an NDIS participant, you won’t be required to work regular hours. You’ll get paid for the hours you do work, so if you prefer to work at night or on weekends, that’s fine. It’s a great way to test out if working part-time or casually is right for you. If it isn’t a good fit for your lifestyle, there are plenty of other disability employment options where you can work when and how often you want.
Social support
If you have social support goals in your NDIS plan, then working part-time or casually can be a great way to meet new people and make new colleagues. It is also a great way to test out if working part-time or casually is right for you.
You may find that the social aspect of working provides benefits that outweigh any financial gains, especially if you’re planning on working as an employee rather than an independent contractor (which comes with its own challenges).
Conclusion
We hope this article has helped you understand the benefits of NDIS employment. It’s important for people with disabilities to be able to find work that fits their needs and goals, and we believe that everyone deserves the chance to make a living by doing something they love. Taking an employment role will not only give you valuable experience in your chosen industry, but it can also help you prove yourself as someone who is capable of performing well at work!
