Employment Support Melbourne
Disability Employment Services in Melbourne
Your Trusted Disability Company in Melbourne Across the Greater Melbourne Area
Anybody who has ever looked for a new job has some horror stories to tell, from hundreds of rejections before you’ve even been offered an interview, to employers ghosting them. But for people living with a disability, there may be extra hurdles to overcome. At Good Company Disability Services, we believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities to feel valued in a rewarding job. That’s why we offer disability employment services in Melbourne to NDIS participants who receive funding for their disability-related needs through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Our NDIS employment support services help people living with disabilities become job-ready, find suitable roles, and achieve long-term career success. Whether you’re seeking full or part-time employment, a volunteering opportunity or vocational training, we can help you get in front of hiring managers and training establishments.
What Are Disability Employment Services?
Disability employment services are designed to support people with disabilities who want to explore and gain employment opportunities. These services include career guidance, help with creating a winning resume, interview practice, job matching, and ongoing support once you’re employed.
Our Melbourne team works with you to understand what you can contribute to a workforce and what you want to achieve on the programme. We also partner with local businesses and employers in Melbourne to help them understand how people with disabilities can be an asset and set up interviews for you.
If you’ve been approved for an NDIS plan and have work-related goals in your plan, you may be eligible for NDIS employment support. If you choose to work with us, we will help you build confidence, learn new skills, and achieve your employment goals in a supportive and inclusive environment.

This is Aeron's Story
Working with a locally owned business in Perth WA we were able to offer Aeron a supported role where she enjoys interacting with the community and developing her work skills while being paid above-award-wage.
“Getting out on weekends earning money while interacting with the local community is something I really enjoy. By working with Good Company I’ve been able to experience what it’s like to work in open employment.”
