NDIS Youth Employment Assistance

Back to Hard word list

NDIS Youth Employment Assistance is an NDIS Capacity Building Support. It’s one of many NDIS supports that help young people to plan and start on a pathway towards open employment.

Youth Employment Assistance is not a single program. It is:

• a way to get personalised support that meets your work goals
• based on conversations between you and your provider
• flexible, so it can be combined with other supports in your NDIS plan (for example, employment counselling or community participation supports).

It can include things like:

• extra work experience while you are still at school
• help to find and keep a part-time job
• building work skills such as using public transport, managing money, working in a team, and doing a job
• support to move into further training, study or work after school.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Capacity Building Supports is a type of NDIS funding that helps you build the independence and skills you need to reach your long-term goals.
