Am I eligible for Employment Services?

Each of our programs has different eligibility criteria.

You may be eligible for support through Inclusive Employment Australia, if you:

  • Have a disability, injury, or health condition – confirmed in a current Employment Services Assessment (ESAt).
  • Can work less than 30 hours per week – now and in the future, even with support.
  • Live in Australia – as a citizen, permanent resident, or eligible visa holder.
  • Are the right age – at least 14 and younger than Age Pension age, and of legal working age in their state or territory.
  • Are not studying full-time – unless Services Australia approved it at the time of referral.
  • Have Inclusive Employment Australia recommended – in a current and valid ESAt.
  • Are not already working above their employment benchmark – based on usual weekly hours.

You may be eligible for personalised support via Workforce Australia if you are:
