Work Assist Program

Work Assist is a support service that provides ongoing workplace support to employees with disability, injury or illness. Work Assist is funded by the Australian Government and is available at no cost to employees and employers.

If you are already in a job and you feel that your job security is at risk because your disability is affecting you at work – our Work Assist Program is here to support you. Work Assist assigns you a Specialist Employment Consultant for at least 6 months and up to 1 year to help you overcome the challenges that you are facing at work. If you feel like you could do with some help, then please do act by contacting us.

If you are an employer who has an Autistic employee who is facing some challenges at work at the moment, we will assign a Specialist Employment Consultant to work with you and your staff member to help all parties find solutions to remain in their employment.

Accessing our services

Disability Employment Services (DES) and the NDIS are both funded by the Federal Government.

These services work together to ensure people with Autism receive support specific to their interests and needs to reach their employment goals. Depending on your funding and individual circumstance, you may be able to be supported by both of these employment services.

Are you an employer ready to welcome an individual with Autism to your team?

Individuals with Autism offer many strengths, skills and talents to the workplace. They can be change-makers, bringing diverse thinking and perspectives to our communities and businesses.

There are thousands of people with Autism working in Australia however, there are hundreds more especially school leavers, who are still looking for a job. That’s where you come in!

Businesses looking to employ a person with Autism can benefit from Autism awareness training, support from an Autism specialist, and government incentives to assist with training and paying wages.

Our specialist Employment team is here to help match employers and jobseekers across a range of industries. Together we can create an employment opportunity for a person with Autism and find you the team member you’ve been looking for!
