Melbourne, VIC – 23th April 25 — A new chapter of empowerment begins for individuals living with disabilities in Melbourne with the launch of a dedicated NDIS Employment Support Service, offering tailored assistance to help participants achieve their career goals and lead more independent lives.
The initiative, based in Melbourne and powered by a team of experienced employment specialists and support coordinators, is designed to connect NDIS participants with meaningful employment opportunities that align with their interests, abilities, and long-term goals. The program not only provides job-seeking support but also builds the skills, confidence, and workplace readiness of participants, setting them up for long-term success.
“Everyone deserves the opportunity to work, contribute to society, and feel a sense of purpose,” said David D, Program Director at NDIS Employment Support Melbourne. “Our mission is to break down barriers and support people living with disability to access employment pathways that are right for them.”
With services tailored for individuals with psychosocial, physical, sensory, and intellectual disabilities, the program includes:
• One-on-one career coaching
• Resume writing and interview preparation
• Work experience placements
• On-the-job support and mentoring
• Skills training and further education pathways
• Assistance with workplace adjustments and employer engagement
Backed by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), the service operates with a strong person-centred approach, ensuring each participant is supported according to their unique strengths and aspirations. The team also works closely with local employers and community organisations to promote inclusive hiring practices and disability awareness in the workplace.
Local NDIS participant Sarah H., who recently secured part-time work through the program, said: “Before joining the employment support service, I didn’t think I’d be able to find a job that understood my mental health needs. Now I feel like I’m part of something—and I’m proud of myself.”
The service is now open for referrals and welcomes enquiries from individuals, support coordinators, families, and NDIS plan managers. Whether participants are exploring work for the first time or returning to the workforce after a break, the NDIS Employment Support Melbourne team is ready to walk alongside them every step of the way.
