NDIS Employment Support Throughout Darwin, NT Regions & Melbourne’s South-East
Building Confidence, Skills, and Pathways to Meaningful Work
At Your Life Your Choice Care Services, we believe everyone deserves the chance to find meaningful work, whether that means full-time employment, casual work, supported jobs, or volunteer roles that help you build confidence and connection.

Our Employment Support services help NDIS participants prepare for the world of work in practical, achievable ways. Whether you’re exploring job options for the first time, returning to work after a break, or learning how to adjust to workplace expectations, we’re here to walk alongside you.
What Is Employment Support?
Employment support helps participants:
Build skills, knowledge, and confidence for work
Prepare emotionally, practically, and socially for employment
Explore different pathways like volunteering, social enterprises, or study
At YLYC, we tailor this support to your unique background, abilities, and goals. We don’t just focus on job-seeking; we prepare you for long-term success.
How We Support You on Your Employment Journey
We start by getting to know your strengths, interests, and past experiences. Then we help you develop a plan for reaching your employment goals, whether that means:
Part-time or full-time work
Starting a course or training program
Joining a supported workplace
Our team helps you:
Communicate confidently in professional settings
Understand workplace expectations and behaviours
Manage time, routines, and responsibilities
Write resumes and prepare for interviews
Explore types of work that might suit you
If you’re already working or in a work placement, we can:

Assist with conflict resolution and problem-solving
Who This Support Is For
Employment Support is ideal for NDIS participants who:
