We help people with disability as they transition from supported employment to open employment.  

Supported employment refers to roles designed for people with disability that allow for more support than traditional workplace roles. 

Open employment refers to jobs that can be done by anyone in a workplace setting where people with and without disability work together with the same or similar support.  

CoAct Connect specialists work with people with disability to plan pathways from supported to open employment. This includes personalised job plans to help identify roles of genuine interest that align with skills and qualifications. 

Our national team helps prepare people with disability to be job-ready by helping them to look for, apply for, and interview for open employment positions. We then continue to offer support for as long as needed after work has started.  

Learn more about moving from supported employment to open employment through Inclusive Employment Australia by contacting our team on 1800 226 228 or by emailing [email protected].

School leavers with NDIS plans may be eligible for personalised support through CoAct Connect’s Inclusive Employment Australia Services.  

Finding a job when you finish school can mean money and independence. Finding the right job when you finish school can mean the chance to build a career with opportunities, new skills, and meaningful work that you genuinely enjoy.

CoAct Connect helps school leavers with disability prepare for work through services that include:

If you have completed School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) you may be able to transition to Inclusive Employment Australia with CoAct Connect.

The transition from School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) to Inclusive Employment Australia is a pivotal step in the employment journey of young people living with disability. SLES forms a crucial foundation for teens in their final years of school, focusing on skill development and fostering independence. Upon moving to Inclusive Employment Australia, individuals experience a shift towards more targeted and personalised employment support.
