NDIS · Participants, families, support coordinators & schools

NDIS counselling and employment support

Rehabilitation counsellors are trained in both mental health and employment, so we can help with how someone is feeling and with what comes next: study, work or volunteering. We support self-managed and plan-managed participants aged 13 and over, in our North Lakes office, by telehealth, and at school.

We are not a registered NDIS provider, so we can't support NDIA-managed (agency-managed) plans.

What we offer

Support for the whole transition

Job search and workplace support

Clear assessments of abilities and needs, with practical recommendations and reports for the plan.

Questions

Can you see NDIA-managed participants?

No. We are not a registered NDIS provider, so we work with self-managed and plan-managed participants only.

Young people aged 13 and over, and adults of any age.

Do you come to the school?

Yes. We offer on-site school visit days when five or more students are booked, as well as sessions in our North Lakes office and by telehealth.

Does the participant need a referral?

No referral is needed. A support coordinator, plan manager, school or family member can contact us, or the participant can contact us directly.
