Frequently asked questions

What is NDIS employment support?

NDIS employment support — formally called Assistance to Access and Maintain Employment or Higher Education — is Capacity Building funding helping participants find, start, and keep a job, or access further education. It covers resume writing, interview coaching, workplace support workers, job training, and support navigating the employment system.

What is the difference between NDIS employment support and Disability Employment Services (DES)?

DES is a federally funded program focused on placing job-ready participants into employment. NDIS employment support builds the capacity to become job-ready — developing skills, confidence, and strategies before and after entering the workforce. Both can be accessed simultaneously and your coordinator can help navigate both systems.

What is SLES and who is eligible?

School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) is funding for young people aged 15 to 22 leaving school and transitioning toward employment. It provides approximately $22,000 per year for up to two years to develop work-ready skills, explore careers, and gain experience. Families should begin planning in Years 10 to 11.

Can the NDIS help me access university or TAFE?

Yes — NDIS employment support can fund a support worker to assist you at university or TAFE, such as help with note-taking or managing disability-related challenges in a study environment. The NDIS does not cover tuition fees, course costs, or textbooks as these are mainstream education expenses.

Is NDIS employment support only for school leavers?

No — employment support is available to any working-age NDIS participant. Whether re-entering the workforce after acquiring a disability, seeking your first job, or wanting to advance your career, this support can be included in your plan. Linq can help you request this funding at your next planning meeting.

What specific supports can NDIS employment funding cover?

Funding can cover resume writing and interview preparation, job coaching, workplace support workers, employment-related skills assessments, workplace modification planning, and support maintaining employment once started. It covers disability-related support costs — not general employment services available to all Australians.

Will getting a job affect my NDIS funding or Disability Support Pension?

Getting a job does not automatically reduce your NDIS funding — plans are based on disability-related support needs, not employment status. The Disability Support Pension may be affected depending on your income through Services Australia income and asset tests. Linq can connect you with financial counsellors for personalised advice.

How do I get employment support added to my NDIS plan?

Frame it clearly as a goal — for example, obtaining part-time employment within 12 months. Evidence from an occupational therapist or employment consultant about your work capacity and disability barriers strengthens your case. Contact Linq on 0434 601 682 for help preparing for your planning meeting.

How can Linq support my employment journey?

Linq helps participants across Melbourne and Adelaide secure the right funding in their NDIS plan, connect with experienced employment support providers and job coaches, and coordinate employment supports alongside other NDIS services for a consistent goal-focused approach. Call 0434 601 682 to get started.
