Employment Related Assessment And Counselling

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item, 10_011_0128_5_3 Employment Related Assessment, Counselling and Advice - Other Professional, is funded under the Capacity Building support category, specifically for 'Finding and Keeping a Job'.

The primary purpose of this support is to assist participants in successfully engaging in employment. It helps to identify an individual's unique strengths and any potential barriers to employment, which then informs a clear plan for required employment supports.

Key Services Provided:

Vocational and Functional Assessment: Comprehensive assessments to understand transferable skills, experience, qualifications, and employment potential.

Employment-Related Counselling: Tailored guidance to help participants redefine career goals, explore new pathways, and overcome challenges, particularly after a traumatic injury, acquired disability, or when changing occupations due to disability.

Workplace Support and Advice: Assessing the work environment and work processes for necessary adjustments or modifications to ensure employment can be maintained safely and productively. This includes providing education and support for the participant, employer, and other workplace personnel.

This support must be delivered by a suitably qualified professional, such as a vocational counsellor, rehabilitation counsellor, or occupational therapist, other than a psychologist. It is designed to provide significant support beyond mainstream employment services to foster independence, build resilience, and enhance the participant's quality of life through meaningful work.
