What is “Finding and Keeping a Job” Under NDIS?
The NDIS “Finding and Keeping a Job” line item is part of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It’s designed to help people with disabilities explore work opportunities, build skills needed by employers, secure employment, and maintain long-term success in the workforce. This support is for participants who want to work but may need extra help to overcome any barriers they may be facing.
NDIS-funded Finding Work and Keeping It support is more than just applying for a job. It’s about understanding what kind of job you’d be best suited to, going on training courses, developing workplace skills, and having ongoing support when you eventually secure a role. This may include help with putting a resume together, doing practice interviews, understanding workplace expectations, or even developing your skills in a voluntary capacity.
Whether you’re finishing school, changing careers, or looking for your first job, this NDIS-funded support offered via Good Company Disability Services can make a big difference in your career success.
Our Approach to Capacity Building Employment
We believe every person can do meaningful and rewarding work, and a disability should never be a barrier to employment. That’s why we focus on NDIS-funded Capacity Building Employment, supporting clients with limited mobility, intellectual differences, sensory impairments, psychological disorders and neurodivergences to gain the skills and confidence needed to enter and stay in the workforce.
Our approach is centred on our clients’ individual needs and goals. That means we listen to you, learn what you want to achieve, and help you take the steps to get there. We support participants at every stage of their employment journey, including:
- Discussing your ideal outcomes.
- Developing essential soft skills needed in the workplace and helping to build confidence in social situations.
- Connecting you to job services, employers, or training providers.
- Helping you to get used to a new routine.
- Organising transportation to interviews and work if necessary.
- Offering mentoring and additional support services once you’ve got a job.
We know that everyone’s employment journey is different, and we’re here to support yours in the way that works best for you.

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.”
