Finding Your Path to Meaningful Work

At AH Healthcare, a trusted NDIS service provider in Perth, we understand that employment is more than just a job—it’s a gateway to independence, confidence, and a sense of purpose. For people living with disability, accessing the right type of employment can make a significant difference in their lives. With the support of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), individuals can explore different employment options tailored to their strengths and support needs.

Understanding the Two Employment Pathways

NDIS participants generally explore two primary types of employment:

1. Open Employment

This involves working in a mainstream job with or without support. It includes:

a) Roles in private or public sectors

b) Flexible or full-time hours

c) On-the-job support such as workplace modifications or assistive technologies

Open employment is ideal for individuals who are ready to integrate into the general workforce and prefer a standard work environment with necessary support in place.

2. Supported Employment

This option provides a more structured environment and is tailored for individuals who need ongoing support at work. Features include:

a) Supervision and training on site

b) Modified roles to suit the individual’s abilities

c) Employment in Australian Disability Enterprises (ADEs)

Supported employment empowers individuals by offering a secure and understanding environment where they can develop skills at their own pace.
