Assist Access / Maintain Employment

At Horizon Harmony, we understand that meaningful employment plays a vital role in building confidence, independence, and a sense of purpose. That’s why we offer tailored NDIS Assist Access / Maintain Employment services to support people with disabilities in exploring, gaining, and keeping suitable work opportunities.

What is Assist Access / Maintain Employment?

Under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), Assist Access / Maintain Employment is a funded support designed to help participants overcome barriers to work. This service is ideal for individuals who want to enter the workforce for the first time, return to work, or need help maintaining their current employment.

The focus is not just on finding a job, but on developing the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to thrive in a work environment. Whether it’s help with resumes, interview coaching, work readiness, or on-the-job support, Horizon Harmony is here to empower you every step of the way.

How We Help

Our employment support services are personalised and flexible, based on your strengths, goals, and interests. We work closely with you to identify the right employment pathway, while also building your skills and confidence for long-term success.

Our services include:

• Assistance with identifying career goals and interests
• Job search support and resume writing
• Interview preparation and coaching
• Help with job applications and follow-ups
• Workplace readiness training
• On-the-job support and mentoring
• Support with workplace modifications and adjustments
• Travel training to and from the workplace
• Connection with Disability Employment Services (DES) providers
• Ongoing employment maintenance support

Who is This Service For?

NDIS participants who have employment goals in their plan may be eligible for this support. It is ideal for people who:

• Have a desire to gain paid or voluntary work
• Are ready to enter or re-enter the workforce
• Need ongoing support to maintain their current job
• Want to develop skills related to working or work environments

This service can be especially valuable for school leavers, young adults exploring career options, or individuals transitioning from education to employment.

Why Employment Matters

At Horizon Harmony, we believe that employment is more than just a paycheck. It offers the opportunity to grow, connect, and feel a valued part of the community. With the right support, every individual can contribute their talents and thrive in a professional setting.

Having a job can significantly improve self-esteem, mental wellbeing, social inclusion, and financial independence. Our goal is to reduce the barriers to employment so that every participant has the opportunity to enjoy these benefits.

Our Employment Support Approach

Our employment services are person-centred and strengths-based. We get to know you — your interests, your challenges, your goals — and create a tailored plan that supports your journey to work. Whether you're looking for part-time, full-time, or supported employment, we’ll help you get there with confidence.

We also work closely with employers, vocational training providers, and employment agencies to open up opportunities and ensure inclusive workplace practices that support your success.

Workplace Support and Training

For many participants, keeping a job is just as important as getting one. That’s why Horizon Harmony offers on-the-job support to help you settle into a new role, understand your responsibilities, and build relationships with coworkers and supervisors.

We also provide training to help you:

• Improve communication and teamwork skills
• Understand workplace expectations
• Manage time and schedules effectively
• Cope with stress and workplace challenges
• Use technology and tools relevant to your role

Partnering with Employers

At Horizon Harmony, we advocate for inclusive employment. We engage with employers to raise awareness about the benefits of hiring people with disabilities and provide education about workplace adjustments and support strategies.

By bridging the gap between participants and employers, we help create positive outcomes for both — resulting in sustainable, supported employment environments.
